oil might not help depending on the condition of your machine, It might be a shot tranny or just a little stiff, need more info...

Your problem is not with the oil but with the transmission. It may need some adjusting or could be more severe. You need to take it somewhere to have it checked out.

if it is a new machine the tranny is stiff. When i got my predator, i had taken it back after the break in period to get serviced. The adjusted my tranny, changed fluids...whole 9 yards

i think your tranny might be stiff
