Well I replaced the fluid in the transmission and there is a noticeable improvement in 3rd gear now. However when the car has sat overnight (on a cold night) it takes a little while to warm everything up. If outside temp is in the 30's the car shifts are slow and 5th gear will scratch( I stay in fourth until the car warms up completely). But once the transmission is up to operating temp it shifts like butter.

I may just order the redline fluid and switch it out to see if it improves cold shifting conditions, it says that it is specifically formulated for our cars and that it helps with shifts in colder environments.
