At the track the other night. We both missed second gear.

Sorry, iPhone vid and it was a grudge race night, no times. That was my 4th run of the night and the clutch wasn't cooperating and the grind was showing. My 2nd run of the night was probably 11.2-3 at 127mph. He's ran a 11.8 in that boss before

Nice run in your GT-500 (except for the missed gear, LOL!). I love your car. That Boss got a nice launch and runs well, too. Just not as well as your Shelby. :)

I'm not the best driver in the world, but how are you guys missing 2nd?
Isn't it just straight down?

Either way, sick rides and nice kill :rockon:

It's a problem with the TR6060s, I believe even the Z06s and Vipers have the same issue. Ford has not acknowledged there is a defect in the transmission, even though there is an "underground" fix to it that some dealers will do. I sold my Shelby last year so haven't heard anything new since. The MGW install either fixed or effectively masked the problem for me however.

It is straight down but if you have the chance to drive a GT500 you will feel the notchiness of 2nd gear. GT500's have external shift linkage and it doesnt help when the engine is torqued over. Big Dan I already put a 1 piece DS in and that helped a lot but I'm waiting on the MGW as the car is going in for transmission rebuild under warranty on Monday. Might as well before a blower swap right?

The cars mods are on the YouTube vid description. Thanks for all the love svtp
