Stiff shifting up, down is fine

Post by S2NAZ »

I'm riding a new to me 2015 Rt. I'm finding it difficult to up shit the trans sometimes when accelerating from a stop and the trans is warmed up. Tried adjusting the shift rod position for more leverage but no change, like the clutch is hanging up a little. Is there something typically a problem anyone is aware of? I was thinking of changing the trans oil to a recommended brand you all might suggest but it appears that the engine and trans share the same oil so what engine oil are you recommending?. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
