Only issue I have with the transmission is the distance between 1st and 6th in the mustang is about the spacing of 1-3 in the Z...still adjusting

So true. The tight spacing was tough for me to get used to at first -- I had a few accidental 2-5 shifts in normal driving until I got used to it.

Of course then I realized the car has enough torque just to do 1-3-5-6, 1-4-6, 1-5-6, or hell even 1-6.
