Since new, the 1-2 shift has always cause me issues and ground the gears. Syncro is now F'ed I'm sure of it. Always have to wait til the fluid is very warm to start hitting that first shift very hard.

This is my 4th car with a tremec 6 speed. And honestly, its the same motor (coyote) and trans you get in a mustang.....yet it shifts 5x slower.

How do we get this fixed so the shifts are not so notchy and butter smooth like a typical production car?

Also, is anyone's clutch feel like you're pushing a sled fulla old train parts through sand? My god, is it HEAVY...so much so, it hurts my foot to drive it with sandals on if I have to hold the clutch in. I have a clutch that holds 1,000hp in another car, and its half the effort of this one.

The T56 Magnum is NOT the same trans as a Mustang. The Mustang uses a Getrag box, the MT82, not a Tremec.
