Hey guys, long time reader first time poster.
I just changed my M/T fluid on my '03 base. After changing the fluid I noticed that the car does shift smoother.
The problem is now it seems like when I'm getting out of 1st my clutch is slipping. The car seems to jerk (slightly) making a smooth start up nearly impossible. It wasn't doing this before the change.
Is this because of the new fluid?
For some reason only about 1 quart drained out[, but it took about 2q to fill it up to the fill hole.
Any input is appreciated
Thanks

I checked the clutch fluid and its fine. It might just be in my head,
