My '05 Sport seems to take a little more umph to put into reverse when I first get in and there seems to be a bit of hesitation (more than normal) when shifting from reverse to drive. Anyone know whats up or have the same issue?

Check your ****** fluid,if that is okay the ****** shift cable may need to be adjusted.

I had an 05 sport about 8 months ago and i took it to the dealer more than 3 times for a transmission shifting problem when i would put it in reverse it would buck..and when i would put it in drive it would hesistate for about 5 seconds then finally go in..now i have a 07 manual and love it:-D but the dealer said nothing was wrong its common, my ****** fluid was full and clean and it wasnt slipping according to what they "tested" lol

I hate to say this, but... I gotta pull out my favorite word:

Normal. :)

They all do it. (Well at least all the 42RLEs do)
