I don't want to start a rant about how the 2011's have issues like some others have, but I'm just looking for anyone else who is having the same issue.
What I have:
2011 GT spec301A
Manual Trans
3.55's
Brembo's
The Issue:
When shifting from 1st to 2nd (at any RPM) there seems to be some restriction. It feels similar to when the 1 to 4 skip shift (which I despise by the way) kicks in at 17 mph. Shifting from 2nd to 3rd and so on is flawless. It almost feels as if the synchronizers in the tranny aren't engaging(?) as quickly as they should. It doesn't really affect the drivability of the car except when I want to shift real quick. I have driven another 5.0/manual and there is no hesitation from 1st to 2nd, so I know that something is a bit off. I'm thinking the linkage needs to be adjusted, there is a malfunction in the skip shift mechanism, or (God forbid) a tranny issue.
Post if you have an idea, or a similar experience.
I'm taking it to the dealership first thing next week to have them check it out.
Again, I know that this is a first gen engine/transmission and there are problems associated with that, but I'm just curious if anyone else is experiencing this so I can say bull**** if the dealership says there is no problem.
Thanks All,
B
