About a week or two ago numerous mails were posted regarding the Bi-tron
oil products. Can anyone tell me if this product is similar to the Slick 50
products. Does the Slick 50 transmission treatment give you the same
results as it was claimed for the bi-tron (smoother shifting). I have not
found anyone yet here in New Hampshire who carries the bi-tron products or
ven heared of it.

My transmission has 162,000 miles on it and in cold wheater I have
difficulty shifting into 2nd gear; either I don't get it it or it will
grind.

Sometimes it is also a problem to shift  out  of 3rd gear into neutral, but
this almost seems to be more related to lack of lubrication in the gear
shift linkage. I have had this happening before and the repair shop
lubricated the linkage with a special grease which should not easily be
washed away by splashing water. Unfortunately even with this special grease
(I forgot the mane of it) it takes a couple of rainy days and the shifting
becomes harder again.

Any ideas?
