    Could it be rear sway bar?

    Is it hard for you guys to change gears in your manual ZHP's for the first few miles every morning, especially when it is cold? I mean does the gear box feel notchy and hard? Thanks!

    The gearbox and fluid are cold. This is normal. It shouldn't be excessively hard, just hard'er'.

    If it's excessively hard, it's time to change your transmission fluid.

    Perhaps. Not sure. I guess I can visually inspect it when I get home.

    Shift into to second, then immediately into first, release clutch pedal and drive off. Drive like normal at low rpm (appx 1/3 redline) until the fluid warms up. Everything should be fine once the gearbox is at temperature

    My auto has always been a bit clunky for the first mile or two. I think they all just need to warm up. The fluid can be pretty thick when it's cold.
