[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16094902, member: 181885"] Ever since I got my GT500 in 2016, 2nd gear has been notchy. It feels like it has to "click in" one or two times before fully engaging. There is no audible grind or anything, and I [U][i]do not[/i][/U] beat on the car whatsoever. It was noticeable with the stock shifter, and there is now an MGW 2.0 in the car. I went for a decent drive today and 2nd gear just continually pissed me off. 1-2 or 3-2, there's a 50% chance it's a smooth, normal shift or a 50% chance that it's notchy and "chunky." Real technical terms here. It's only crappy under low load, gets better as the trans warms up (horrible when cold). Moderate throttle and up, it's smooth as butter. 3k rpm and up, smooth as butter. But normal driving, I almost want to skip the damn gear sometimes. Every other gear is perfect, especially with the MGW. I've read about 2nd gear grind in pre-2012 T6060s being due to synchro coating/materials, but I have never experienced grinding with this car and don't think it's a related issue. Any ideas? It's the one thing keeping the car from being absolutely perfect at the moment. [/QUOTE]
