My only complaint is the clutch pedal travel. You literally have to STEP on it. Heal/toe action is very difficult with this setup. Shifting between gates seems a bit notchy but each gear connects solidly for me and engages strong.

yeah following chilibowl's tips and just listening to my baby purr and roar has gotten it a lot better for me. screw those guys at Edmunds Im ready to tame this wild and rebellious clutch. lol. im pretty cheesy I know. I have misshifted and/or grinded maybe 5-6 times lightly since getting the car. By lightly I mean the moment the grind friction occurred I was able to retract without forcing the gear in the gate for an all our grindfest. The occasional happening of this as I described does not put me at risk for serious damage or extreme wear does it guys? chilibowl?

Our car isn't made out of paper and plastic, I wouldn't worry about it.
But give yourself a slap in the face next time you grind it... lol

Youll be fine homie, MT's are very robust pieces of machinery. So unless your flogging and trying to trash it on purpose, You have to REALLY do some sh*t to f*ck one up.
