In CO and rocc issue

[rfkellner@snet.net (Rick Kellner)]

Dan,
    I would switch to synthetic oil in the motor and transmission.  The
motor will turn over like it does in July with the synthetic oil.  Synthetic
oil in the transmission may not be as noticeable but if you are going to
change it any way it will only be a few bucks extra for it.

that I'm here I've noticed my car feels like it's struggling with the thin
air, is there a fix for this? My car takes a few seconds to turn over, but
the battery and starter sound strong, should I go with a new battery?
Lastly, when I shift it feels like someone replaced my gear oil with
molasses, is this just from old, crappy oil?

All went fairly well, though I did notice a few things today while tooling
around town. When in motion, especially slow speeds, there is a clicking
noise, kinda like the old baseball card in the the bike spokes noise, but a
little muffled. It starts around 10mph and is quite regular. I don't notice
any driving differencese though. My other problem is my driver's side door
handle doesn't like to work when it's cold. It's not iced up because it's a
constant problem. I have to squeeze as hard as I can while pushing the door
open to get it to open. The inside works no problem. Suggestions? Also, you
Colorado people, let me know where you are and maybe we could get together.
