I know it's been asked a million times, I can't find the answer and I am frustrated because I want it to be smooth for the ride today!
Just doesn't want to go into 1st or reverse very easy, isn't there a fluid or something? Thanks guys/gals have a great weekend!

btw my Vette is a 2003

Low clutch fluid can make it not disengage fully and make shifts tougher...

All good answers, you should be able to get the shifting smoother from any or all of these suggestions.:thumbsup:

go into 2nd then 1st or 2nd to rev what ever your doing, stock shifters suck on these cars shifts like a uhaul,replace with short throw MGW
