dgreseth Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I have a 2008 GT500 that has a terrible rear wheel hop and the 1-2 shift is extremely grabby when it's cold. I already had the transmission removed and new synchros installed when it was pretty new. I drove a 2011 recently and the transmission is a huge improvement. I appreciate any suggestions if you have experienced the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Dennis Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I have never had a manual shift car that was not stiff shifting until it warmed up. It's physics. The fluid is still thick until it warms. Low r's and soft shifts until they warm up or you will take out second gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbackg Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 There are many threads on wheel hop. You need some suspension upgrades.

dsmgreddy Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 The 1 to 2 grind is very common, with lots of threads on it if this is what you are referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
