Re: In my previous txt, this thread, I mentioned . . .
our cars are particular about tranny fluid & I recommended what I have used, which is Pentosin. I've read a number on Internet postings noting hard shifting when using other brands. Since you're experiencing what you describe as "balking", when shifting, perhaps when previously refilled, it was w/another brand? If so, a switch to Pentosin may fix you up. BTW, I can't imagine how using another brand would hurt the tranny, just maybe stiffen up the shifting a bit.
