Im having trouble shifting the R151F tranny when its cold.

when drive the truck when its cold it is almost impossible to shift it into 2nd... all other gears work fine but for some reason 2nd will not shift into gear until tranny worms up? anybody having this problem?

Hope Marlin pitches in with some advise:D

Due to the size and heavy duty design of the R series gears, this is a common complaint. This is due in part because the constant mesh teeth on the side of the gears are of a more fine design than Americian truck transmissions. This results in added surface area and more teeth to engauge.
Changing to synthetic oil will help.
Mainshaft retainer plate wear and rounding of the tips of the constant run teeth will also cause this problem.
