Any consensus on Boss trans/clutch/shifter issues at this point?

[QUOTE="LS Boss, post: 15197791, member: 144062"] Hey oldfart, Your question has been a topic that has been discussed endlessly since the Boss was first sent out the factory door. It seems like the 2012 model year had more problems with notxhiness than the 2013 model. The very early 2012 had a TSB that related to adding a friction modifier which seemed to help many of thos owners. Most of the problems people have experience have to do with lock out. I have this with my 2013 . I installed a race spec MGW which is an awesome peice of gear, but that another matter. If you take the OEM shifter oout of the car you see it is not a quality piece. It is to flimisy and rubbery to shift. The problem I have, as well as many owners, is when you try to do a high rev shift. For me, at 7000R RPM or above, I can not shift. The clutch will not release until the engine drops its revs below 7000. The fix is to replace the clutch. There are quite a few discussions about this so I'll leave it to you to research this if you should decide to replace your clutch.. The spring removal is not necessary.
