I'm quickly learning there's lots of mechanical sounds with this trans. Take off in first at a low RPM and it sounds like it's going to fall apart.
I shift at 2k rpm no problem, I think many of you are shifting too quickly. With the 370Z, you have to pause for the 1-2 shift. And I really mean pause and take your time. The lower the rpm the more critical this.
