2/4 brake solenoid is usually the culprit for harsh gear changes

Mat (DMGRS) did a how to HERE (if you havent seen it already), and provides the resistance values too, for testing. If you have a warm dry place to carry it out, I would recommend it - it is not difficult, just time consuming, and a lot of fiddly nuts and bolts to remove, which in cold weather is uncomfortable (mine went at the end of Oct/Nov.). Get a decent sealant for the cover. If you do not find your replacement solenoid, you may be interested in a repair (I have repaired mine for future use - although I am not holding my breath on its reliability lol). There is a link to a video I discovered on Youtube for repairing these, along with the result of my repair HERE. such a hard life lol

A fluid change can also work wonders for hard shifting.

Make it number two. Check the resistances of the solenoids before changing the fluid. To change the solenoid, you need to drain at least half the fluid anyway. You may have to lose part of the oil you change, if it turns out to be a solenoid.
