Check your shift *****
Hey guys,
Last night I was out enjoying the car, but I had been having trouble hitting 4th gear consistantly...I couldn't figure out why when I was power shifting I couldn't hit it everytime...
Then I noticed my shift **** was loose! I turned it a full circle and it tightened up everything...the shifter even feels 10 times better and more sturdy
I guess when i was power shifting, the **** kept moving and directing me into the gate...now its perfect and I have no complaints...
could be a quick fix for some of you...mine was loose from factory

There's a big difference between driving it hard and abusing it.
there are guys with shifting problems that haven't done any hard driving at all.
I would guess though that even with a well designed/built factory transmission, the clutch would probably be dead before the transmission.
After reading what numerous speed shops have said about the MT82 though, I would never even power shift my car.
