well, I just changed the trans fluid a couple more times w/ successive oil changes - castrol gtx 10w-40 for trans, synthetic (usually Mobil 1 , lately 0w-40, for the motor) - and it shifts perfectly now w/ 82k mi on it. I think the syncros must have been getting starved - bad fluid, low quantity, or unknown.
