The question is way too broad. What do you mean by issues? Yes my trans feels a little more notchy and sychros feel sticky when the trans isn't warm, but other than that the trans is fine for me. Honestly I don't define that as an issue more of a characteristic.

It's weird but it's also when I've normal driving and not driving hard
Yep, getting this too.

I've gotten the same rev match jump a handful of times as well.

What bugs me, though not so much of a shifting (mechanical) issue is when I'm trying to 1-2 shift under the skip shift threshold and just get close enough to 2k rpms where it will lock me out mid throw. Out of first, going into second and then the lock comes. That's when you coast through an intersection like you don't know how to drive and have to go 4-2, clutch out, go.
Annoying. Though easily fixed by driving through it, or just buying the eliminator.

Here goes. Car in shop now for not shifting into ANY gear. It's happened several times including the first service tech that test drove it. The other day got a call from second service tech that said first guy quit and he had to start over. First guy had them ordering new syncros which they couldnt find. Second guy blamed it on the skip shift eliminator I installed. My question is how could that allow it to not go in any gear when stopped. It would not move out of neutral position even being forced very hard. Waiting for their next suggestion.

you def should have taken the skip shift out before you brought it in. Theyll probably try to blame it on that.

They took it off and told me to drive it around for the weekend and see if it does it again. He said he thought the solinoid might be locking it up electronically. He said if it does it again shut the power down and see if I can move it with igition off. The tech was cool about it and didn't put it in the write up that it was there. Personally I don't think it has anything to do with it. I think it's mechanical. We'll see what happens.

He even tried to sell me some rotors off of a Z06 for $400 which isn't a bad deal. He said they're practically brand new. Might even do it. We'll see. Any thoughts on the rotors?

Mine shifts perfectly, no issues. Slow shifts, fast shifts, upshifts, downshifts, all good.

The shifter has short, direct throws, I like it...

Source??

They're all (SS, ZL1, 1LE) Tremec TR-6060's with different ratios - sounds like BS.

From another post from this forum, but the survey results only mentions a 16% of issues if you check it. Nothing else.

It will feel like im fighting through a rubber bushing to get it into third

This x10......not sure what the issue is. 1-2 was a PITA but it is better now, but I am afraid that it is going to lose the crispness quickly. Hopefully the tranny is going to remain robust, because I am very hard on the car at the track.

Just curious as I've not drove a manual for a very long time. On my car which now has about 1100 miles, when I want to pass and shift from say 6th to 5th, there is a little thud or clunk I hear. It's more prominent when rev match is off.

Normal? Not?

Appreciate any input
