If you experience any girding in 5th or 6th, have that checked out because it could mean a new transmission is in your future.

The 6MT is very noisy/clunky. Heck, even the Getrag MT82 in my Mustang, which is 100x smoother than the 6MT, still gets that hard/clunky 1-2 shift when the transmission is cold.

noticeable difference for me in terms of sound/clunk/smoothness.


When I switched to Redline MT-90 in my Z it was noticeably smoother during cold shifts.
