[QUOTE="heatsoaked12, post: 14028087, member: 127489"] Only way to shift this car successfully, no mater what the traction or rpm from 1-2 is-1) Let off gas pedal completely 2) Only when your foot is off the gas pedal, press the clutch to the floor 3) Only when your clutch pedal is to the floor, shift to second. With practice this can be achieved in approximately one third of a second. This transmission needs to be shifted under negative torque which aids in the meshing of 1-2. Tremec did not design this tranny well. I'm sure the MGW shifter makes a difference as it creates more pressure on the sincros to get the job done faster. No manufacture wants to do anything about this problem and the rest of the world just wants to believe we don't know how to shift.... but 3-4, 4-5, 5-6 are no problem. BY the way the chief engineer of the gt500 even admitted to a lot of complaints of the 1-2 grind. [/QUOTE]
