5 mo. ago I drained the tranny & replaced the oil with Amsoil "Severe Gear" oil 75W-80. Plan to eventually replace the tranny oil & differential oil in my 1938 Buick with the same oil.

Check out the rubber bushings on the linkage where the bolts connect them and the pivot bolt if it is too loose. Check the whole linkage system for any loose or worn parts. Check the level of the lubricant in the transmission. Some owners claim changing to synthetic gear lube solves the cold morning shifting problems.
