Default Going into First gear/for manuel owners.....

Does anyone have a problem moving the shifter into first gear? Mine does not seem to want to go in smoothly, it needs a second or so to go in.

If I wait for the syncros it takes a moment, but bliping the throttle helps to get things aligned

Default double clutching works for me

You should try the six speed at -20 degrees. It's a real pistol until it warms up.

Default -20 F? Two words: Redline synthetic.

E-mail me if you want the info on where to have it done (well) in the Twin Cities.

Default Plastic bushings, rubbery connections,

lousy linkage.... take your pick it all adds up to sloppy shifting.. ESPECIALLY getting into first.. even at a standstill.

This is why TOYGUY is so far behind in his orders..he has a winner as he addressed the weakness in our linklage and smoothes it out... I wish... I wish... I can't... Somebody stop me... No .... I shouldn't.......

Default Try going into second and then first, it's set up so you don't accidentally go into first at thirty

MPH
