May be some internal issues, such as worn dog ring on 3rd gear. I switched
from 75-90 mineral to 75-90 synthetic (Mobil 1) and found that the
transmission shifts smoother, especially when cold. Before, 3rd would have a
slight "catch" feeling going in from 2nd until fully warmed up. All that
went away with the synthetic. But as they say, your experience may differ.

Time to change the trans and diff oil. I have a stock MKII, what would you
recommend for oils. Last time I used 80W90 gear oil.
Somewhere I think I read not to use a GL5 spec?
Also, sometimes it is difficult to get into 1st when taking off from a
stoplight, and sometimes it will slip out of 3rd
when decelerating.
Thanks for the advice
Rich
