Sounds like your second geer piston seal is worn out and losing pressure,recommended good used or rebuild transmission.

1997 Ford e40d Transmission won't shift when warm

Take it back to the rebuilder, it should still be under warranty. But first, check the fluid level. Have it on flat ground, engine running and transmission warm.

Hard up and down-shifting into 2nd gear - manual transmission

I have seen this happen in numerous cars, I have a mazda that does that, my buddy has an 04 suzuki aerio that does that etc etc etc.... There really ins't a "fix" for that as it really is just what late model manual trannys do, all you can do is just let your car warm up. If you are really concerned you can throw a new tranny on there but once it gets broken in it will start doing that too. Sorry!

1996 Corolla Auto Transmission problem

Hi. 2005 Corolla CE. It's normal. They tend to do this when upshifting form 1st to 2nd gear. No timing chain readjustment needed.

96 Corolla. Overdrive not working properly, if not engaging after 45mph constantly. If driving on the city, is normal, but not after 45mph, when the car is trying to engage overdrive in order to save gas and preserve the trans gears. If not able to get help at the dealership, find another one and explain them the situation.
