    ok i finished changing the trans oil put castrol syntec
    $29 75W 90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)
    75W 90 and after i was done i went out for a test drive to make sure everything was ok and everything was good except when i went to shift to 3rd it started to grind for a second and i slowed down and when i got to 3rd it did it again then after awhile of riding i guess when it got warm it was fine it is not cold here like low 60s at night was wondering what could be causing this?
