Smooth Shifter

[roblubocki]

I got my 17k miles Z4 a month ago, I absolutly love it!!.. The issue I have is the shifter; It seems that 1st, and 2nd gear when shifting into them take more effort then the rest of the gears. It really is a small difference, but I read that it can be tweeked with aligning the shift leaver? I really would like the first 2 gears be as smooth like the rest of the gears, especially do a little downshift. The car is really in mint condition, and has factory warranty till October of this year, any recommendations?

Thank you,
RL

I replaced the "lifetime" transmission fluid in my 2003 6 speed and put in Red Line "D4 ATF". This made quite a difference in easing the upshift from first to second. I've never really noticed a problem on the third to second downshift.
