Hard starting car after 1/2 tank

Synchros shot? Weird noises while shifting? Not sure what needs to be replaced?

Uh.....wtf? I went and replaced my battery. Car is on a 1/4 tank. It sat for 2 days. It started right up :? Perhaps it was the battery? But that doesn't make sense....

That's really weird. Maybe the low voltage was messing with a sensor?

Yeah, I've never heard of something this strange before. I'll have my car sitting for 10 hours at work today outside(it was in the garage all weekend, but it isn't heated.), so tonight will be the big test. If it fires up like it did this morning, I guess it really was the battery.

*UPDATE*:Had a little trouble starting, nothing new since it was f'in cold out. And it didn't cut off! So I guess it really was that battery. I'm done :P
