Notchy or stiff shifting, 5-speed manual, V70/S70, any easy solution? V70-XC70 1999


Mine's always been just fine going into revrese so it may be the way the linkages etc. were all set up when the car was built.

BTW, I believe the "secret sauce" Volvo synthetic manual transmission gear oil is just plain 'ol 5W30 synthetic motor oil. (Try a search on this!)
