Coming up on 1Kmi. on my replaced 03 tranny. Thought i'd share thoughts and get opinions. Replaced the original tranny at about 64K due to 5th gear grind.
Here' the update on the replacement; This tranny is alot notchy-er than the original. Double clutching happens a couple of times a day. Finnaly got used to the new clutch feel (harder and springy-er). 5th gear on this tranny is almost strait up from 4th. 6th is a hard pull by comparison.
Anyone elce experience the same after a replacement? Do these things need a brake in period to smooth out? Are the newer transmissions naturally nothy-er?
Thanks.

+1 royal purple worked wonders in my trans. i could hardly put my "new replacement trans" into 5th after they put it in. i swapped to royal purple, the problem was fixed instantly! kind of a bandaid i know, but it is still going strong 1.5 f/i-ed years later.

i am in your exact situation. I replaced my trans about 1500 miles ago @ 61,000 miles and also feel as if the trans is notchy and 5th is a little further to the left than my stock tranny was. I got used to is though and it seems as if the notchyness is starting to fade
