First, check trans. oil level; if level is O.K. then next is to change oil.
If the car sits outside in bitter cold (like in Michigan), you may want to
switch to synthetic oil. A good synthetic oil is "Red Line"; take a look at
this site http://www.redlineoil.com/. Make sure you're getting the correct
oil for your car (call Red Line they'll tell you which to buy).
