The tranny in every car I've owned has had it's own personality.
72 Ford Capri 2.0L - Worked great, fast shifting flawless 4 spd
72 Porshe 914 - Super finiky, needed light touch whenever it wasn't redlined, flawless when shifted at redline. To go into first, need to be at dead stop and put it into sencond gear first. Then a whip over to the left and down on the shift knob.
71 240Z - Flawless tranny - Abused the hell out of it for over 100k, driveline started loosening up from all the U-Joint replacements
69 Corvette - Super-T10 tranny - Semi-finiky, needed to be shifted slow or it would grind.
96 Tacoma - Need to be gentle, about the same as the Vette
2011 370Z - Little bit mor finiky than the Vette. Ultra slow shift and does not like to be put into first between 0-10 mph while on the breaks. (it clunks)
Your tranny is like a woman, figure out how she likes it and then give it to her.
I've only broke 1 tranny, the main gear came out the side of the casing... DOH! (friend's 68 camero with indy tranny) What a POS!
