1st -2nd gear transition?
What are owners thoughts on the shift.
Mines slightly clunky at the shifter (its fine going down)
I think the dealer will be hearing about it.
I've only 375kms on the beast.
I certainly hope its not the start of a citrus variety.

Re: I think the shifter should feel superb. Could you be more specific? Either way though check it
Theres a slight clunk into 2nd at anything above say 4000rpm
Just in the shift not the engaging of the gear.
Yeh for sure I'll get it checked out on Monday.

A good number of people on this board have noted that a steeper learning curve applies to this car
when trying to achieve nice smooth shifts. They said that early on they really had to concentrate to achieve a smooth shift but eventually they adapted. These were experienced manual drivers so I wouldn't doubt it. You might want to try a search there were a number of threads on this issue. Personally,I always have trouble adapting to a new car so I am not a good bar from which to measure.

True for the clutch, but the shifter gates for the 1-2 transition should be totally painless.
Performing a smooth shift (combination of clutch, gear change, throttle modulation) is another matter entirely
