Obviously 2nd gear takes the most abuse, but most of the time when I shift into 2nd, especially when its cold, it kinda hesitates. It feels like it slightly stops on something for a fraction of a second and then slides in.. I can still shift fast and everything, but I just feel this "bump" and you can hear the bump too usually.
And also when I downshift from to any gear usually, it kinda shakes when I am letting out of the clutch, unless I give it gas while I'm letting the clutch out.
What generally causes these 2 problems?

A friend of mine says he read in his 02 SS owners manual that you are never supposed to change the gear fluid in a manual transmission, only add to it. But that doesn't make any sense, any truth to that?
I have not changed the fluid since I have got the car, so I need to if I am able to..
