1999 Subaru Legacy 168K miles, 2.2L engine.
When I first start the car in the morning, it shifts very slowly into 3rd gear especially allowing the revs to climb before engaging. Once warm and once engaged, there is no slippage and it shifts just fine. I think the car may have sat for a while so guessing some of the seals may not always be fully expanded. I have drained and changed the ATF three times to make sure it's all fresh and am hoping the right additive might resolve or at least improve the situation but don't know which would be the best one to choose.
Any input as to what the problem might be or possible fixes would be appreciated.
Thanks
