Problems with viper t56

[akrapovic]

Hey all,

I've had a D&D Viper T56 for about a year now. I'm starting to have issues with second gear. Occasionally it is somewhat sloppy when shifting to second on an upshift or downshift. I'm not sure how to describe the sound but its almost like something is hanging up.

I was advised that it could be a synro problem. Any other way to diagnose? Should I try a fluid swap. How often should you change trans fluid? Also when I'm shifting quickly during heavy acceleration I don't feel it at all. Could it be my shifting from 1st to 2nd at too low of an rpm range?




Thanks in advance
