How's the M6 Tremec TR-3160? Better than the Aisin AY6 from 5th gen V6 I bet. The only other complaint about my 2014 V6 was the inconsistent shifting, I put in a Hurst and it helped. I'd still like to test drive a 6th gen V6 M6 just to feel the power to weight.
At this point I still say it's slightly notchy and firm. I loved the m6 trans in the old 4th gens. The shifts with the v6 are obvious and I had no issues at all when shifting in anger.

But, on multiple occasions in regular driving I have embarrassingly ground 1st gear. On each occasion I thought I had fully engaged 1st but, it wasn't quite in gear.

I have hope to see further improvement in the shifter feel. It's definitely better than when I first got the car.
