Subject: Shifting into 2nd difficult if car is cold
   Date: Thu, 5 Jan 1995 14:51:08 -0500


     I've only had my 1990 Red A package for 2 days so I'm getting to 
know it better each day. I have noticed that when the car is cold it
doesn't shift into 2nd gear really well at all. It almost refuses to go
in.  It will go into third though.  Once it's warm, it shifts great.

I thought maybe it's synchros, but if so, shouldn't is shift lousy alwyas?
I wondered if maybe the tranny fluid is bad, too thick, or low?

Again, the MIATA is the BEST handling car I've driven!
