mine seems to have a bit of travel before the starts to engage..half way up maybe..but it has always been that way since i got it i believe...the rattle isnt loud in mine..only when it is neutral...jsut rumbles a bit..

mine makes a reallly weird sound with the engine when i shift from 2nd to 3rd at about 5200 rpms its like a loud hard revvin sound but worse i cant explain it. other than that its cool lol

titoman? how far up when you start to release the clutch does it begin to engage the engine to start you moving? maybe it is catching to early perhaps

it does that if u hard in 1st too....i think its just play in the tranny. but mine rattles as well when im in too high of a gear and get on the throttle a little. kinda annoying but whatever. mustangs have terrible gas mileage dunno what everyone sees that is GREAT. i proll get 18-20

for me the stick is fine, its still new (under 1000) so the shifter is still stiff, but that should break in. There is a bit of travel with the clutch as well, but nothing too bad. One somewhat annoying thing is putting it into 1st when coming to a stop sign or something you can hear a bit of a whine in the tranny, other than that I love driving stick, way better than auto.

It seems loud to me. I like how it shifts, third seems to be my hard gear to get into. First gear is very touchy but alot of torque.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one that has has some trouble with the trans. When we first got the car, I killed it a couple of times. How embarrasing!! I too feel mine has too much free travel but am getting used to it. I've only got 1100 miles on it so hopefully it will break in some more. I still love the car. Jim

i've probably stalled bout 70 times on it and i'm not exaggerating. i have about 700kms on it. i do hear whinning noise when braking at 60km/hr without gearing down and when using engine brake it's not present.

friction point on the clutch is about halfway from disengaged position.

5200 rpm on 2nd. **** i've never rev mine that high, but i will someday when i master shifting. i'm still slow on take-off. practice, practice, practice...

third is a hard gear to get into? i dont have any problem with mine...shifting overall is good...option81 stalling 70 times is alot..sounds like not enough gas and letting the clutch out to fast...how are you at downshifting? stalling wont really hurt anything in the long run just wear out your starter faster probably

Overall, I like the clutch and the shifter... however, I have fits changing from 1st to 2nd if the RPMs are over 4000. It simply doesn't want to fall into 2nd.

Is this normal?
