When first going the transmission shifts hard, and smooths out as it warms up. I checked the transaxles and the CV joints they are fine I want to know if necessary can I change the fluid and filter? I am a mechanic an have change many GM trans filters mostly older cars. Is it possible? And can I get the parts?
