gearbox query

["Andrew Watry"<andrew.watry@xxxxxxxxxx>]

     On my 67 Giulia Super, which has a later 115 trans (year unknown), the 
     shifting feels smoother, lighter, and more positive when the gearbox 
     is cold than when it's hot.  Does that make sense?  Why would that be? 
      I'm using regular 80/90W gear oil, either Pennzoil or Castrol, and it 
     is full of oil.  Maybe synthetic would help, but I've heard mainly 
     that synthetic helps shifting when cold, and is likely to leak a lot 
     more.
