I have 4500 miles on my 03 Cobra (MGW shifter) and it is the hardest shifting tranny I've ever had. I've had Pro 5.0 equiped T5's in the past and could just mow through the gears... does it get any better?
Does the T56 break in with time?

I thought the same thing but I just think that I got use to it. When I drove it home for the first time I was like there is no way in hell that I could powershift this thing but now it like butter. Do yourself a favor and change the fluid. I use amsoil but to each there own. royal purple, gm syncromesh, there is many more. you can search for that thread if you feel like it
swapped out the stock clutch for a DFX and now it has a light pedal and shifts like butter! stock clutch sucks in my opinion! only down fall with DFX is it will chatter if you try to slip it but you get used to it real quick.

SPEEDRACER88, check this out. I had the same problem. Now it works alot better, not the best but alot better. I think my clutch is on it's way out so I'm sure that part of problem.
After you figure out where and how the linkage works it a piece of cake to adjust. Hope this helps.

I'll try and adjust the clutch (in post #5) and see what that does. thanksSpade said:

It's better. Does anyone know what kind of fluid (brand) is in the tranny from the factory? I like Mobil1 but I'll try whatever works best.Spade said:
The shift feel loosens up after a while. I put my MGW on at 5K and it felt really tight, a few months and a few thousand miles later it shifts great!!
The dam clutch came un-adjusted tonight. Time for an upgrade.
GM syncro mesh was told that by the tramco guy today at maple grove.
