Congratulations!

Agreed...probably one of the best wheels I've seen.

Make sure the first thing you do is service it for the A8 Trans shudder. Eliminate the problem now before it becomes a problem later. Unless it's an M6 in which case forget what I just said.

Haha, it is indeed an M6. I do want to add the shift skip eliminator and I believe the previous owner already disabled the AFM. From what I can tell it has not kicked on and I drove it home 2.5 hrs from the dealership cruising over the passes.

I don't believe the M6 has AFM (it has the same AFM Lifters but the functionality is not active)

[speedyink1]

That is correct, the M6 does not have AFM activated from the factory.

Congrats, and welcome to the club!

Skip shift eliminator is the best first mod ever lol.

I second this! Skip Shift Eliminator absolutely should be the first go to mod for any M6.

Couldn't agree more.

I've had two manual 2016 SS's, and I can drive it all day and not have the skip shift kick in. Now, if you daily, and really try to baby first gear or something, I get it. When I got my first SS, I figured skip shift eliminator would be first mod, but 2 cars in now and I just haven't needed it.

I rarely get it as well. In fact, I forget it's even a feature until the rare occasion it does kick in.

Installed the bmr lockout kit and did a few launches. Rear feels much better, excited to see what she does at the drag strip next week.

It's completely avoidable, but it's still a pain in the ass. I don't want to alter my shifting habits for the stupid thing. I can't wait to have mine installed.


Customer rolled up with a '69 today. I thought it looked awesome, so I asked to take a picture with it. I got mine out of the garage* and took the opportunity for a "New & Old" shot.
