Trans fluid can affect this a lot (I think I mentioned this earlier in the thread)... may be worth trying a different fluid. I have to double-clutch the Miata up and down each gear when it's winter-temps outside. And that's with good fluid in the trans.
Yeah i saw you mentioned it before and yeah the trans fluid will definitely help. I just need to do it... I procrastinate with everything. It hasn't been too much of a bother to me which is why I haven't taken care of it already. Sometimes I feel like when I get in the car and the gears don't engage right away it wakes me up a little more and makes me be more attentive..
