At what RPM is the best point to shift between 1st and 2nd. It seems to be
smoother when I don't rev the engine too high between shifts and keep the speed low. The higher gears are ok but it's between 1st and 2nd gears that cause me problems. I don't want my wife to snap her neck on her first ride with me, it will be embarassing. I've had the car for a full week of commuting now, stalled maybe twice but I'm better now. It's not my first 6 speed but this one is different.
I try not to push the clutch too far down and not rev too high,is it the best way,what's your technique, thanks |
350 and now the 370 has one of the most brutal 1-2 shifts lol, I was in your situation - for me it was as simple as changing tranny fluid to redline.
as far as helper spring, i think stock is just fine, just get used to it.
honestly the oem nissan fluid is complete crap, just my 2 cents, -long time Z owner here, the 370 manual gearbox feels identical to my old 08 350 gearbox.
