2014 shift problems
#11
Ah, Gus! That's the rub! There may be times when you don't have the luxury of time "to do it slowly."As I mentioned in my first note, it was back in 67 when I fell in love with how a Stang handled... I was in the back roads of SW PA and suddenly there was a 90-degree left bend in the road. I swung the wheel, dropped from 3 to 2 and popped the clutch. The back end swung around so beautifully that my buddy (whose car it was) and his girlfriend in the back seat never missed a beat. Heaven help anyone caught in a predicament with a new 6-speed!
Never once did the shifter seem to "get in the way" so to speak, and there were several enthusiastic downshifts into 2nd when driving hard into a switchback. Maybe it's because I've never driven many other manuals on a daily basis, but IMHO this shifter is pretty well-behaved if you trust the internal springs. Maybe I should try the MGW someday though...
