Clunky Shifting?
 

Hey guys, I have started to notice that there is a very clunky feel when I am shifting gears. It is different, sometimes 3rd gear, sometime 2nd gear, sometimes no gears at all. I noticed when I first bought the car, it seemed I could shift gears with one finger, and the stick just fell into place. However, every now and again, it seems that I am fighting ever so slightly to get the car to shift into some gears, and you can almost feel a pop as it finally gets into gear. I do not believe it is an issue with the tranny warming up, as this has happened to me after driving home from work (approx. 50 miles). Any ideas? The car has 1850 miles on it...
Thanks!

mines done that since day 1, and alot of people here have complained about it. Seems like the consensus is that its normal.

you're probably getting use to the car and shifting faster, not clutching-in all the way.

Swapping the transmission oil for Redline significantly smoothed shifts as well.

The clunky shifting is normal. Just keep driving and you will get used to it.

Mine shifts clunky as well, its very annoying but to a degree I like the mechanical feel of the gear box. Feels like a sports car should imo

Personally don't like it and not refined in my book.

Mine also makes a clunking noise just backing out my garage and don't know if it's that damn Stillen exhaust making a noise or some type of drive train noise. None good. The tire noise with the sport package adds more and with so much noise going, it's hard to figure out exactly what is going on.

I hate the "it's a sports car, it's supposed to be like that" excuse.

Mine's not excessively clunky, but it's not as refined as other sports cars I've owned..

Agreed!

mine does it, but only for shifting from 1st to 2nd. i make sure i have the clutch in all the way before shifting. i noticed you can hardly hear it from the passengers seat tho.

sorry :(

i was just saying the same thing this morning. Mine also only really does it when i go into first SOMETIMES and when i shift into second...again SOMETIMES but always in traffic.

Suxs

Quaife offers some nice replacement trannies from what i hear. Get one and let me know how you like it.

I wish I would feel the same problem as you guys ... im still in a 350 :( Be happy you have the upgrade hehehe I cant upgrade for another year or so....

All you guys are almost bringing me to tears with all you whinning!What do you want a $100,000 sports car for between $30 and $40,000?
Its still the best bang for the buck so get used to it and quit whinning!
