Problem with transmission

[Amdkt7]

I had a KIA that had a bad transmission. Replaced under warranty. The new transmission always had a hard time shifting from 2nd to 3rd when cold. I never could get the dealer to admit there was a problem, however I got 110K miles out of it before I traded it, so it was not a problem.

Is Japanese, by the way Paraguay will have altered the car's mileage.
Now has 45.000.km and the car is 2001. is impossible that mileage.
I estimate is around 110,000 km

Have you ever changed the fluid?
Since I bought it a year ago has the same problem.
The second day will change the gearbox oil, use oil Vollsynthetisches liquimolly Getriebeöl (GL 5) SAE 75 W-90.
But it did not improve anything.

Have you ever lubed the pivots on the end of the shift cables?
That I never did, how I do?

There are a number of possible things that could cause hard shifting:

Not mention in the web site is changing the fluid. The wrong type fluid will cause hard shifting, or if the fluid is too old.

The clutch should be clearly dis-engaging the engine. You can feel it if it is not. With the car in gear you should be able to let the clutch out part ways before you feel the car start to move, or the engine slow down.

Shift linkages can be not adjusted right, too tight, or too loose.

Or the transmission maybe due for a rebuild.

Now I see that website. The strange thing is that I spend a year and as usual, did not worsen or improve.

The car is 2001, do not think that the factory has come like that.



Thank you very much for your replies gentlemen, I apologize if I speak wrong, in my country do not speak English and I was a bit complicated. Greetings.
