My father-in-law recently purchased a 1990 Miata with the 5-speed transmission. It starts and runs beautifully, and he has had all of the fluids changed within the last week. It's been pretty cold here recently, and every morning the transmission is frozen into gear (he usually leaves it in first when he parks it). In the afternoon, when the sun has warmed the car a little bit, the transmission shifts out of first just fine and drives like normal.
As I mentioned, the transmission fluid has been recently changed. It was full before the guys at Jiffy Lube changed it.
Has anybody experienced this before? If not, do you have any suggestions of what to check or replace?
Thanks.
