stock shifter question

40th GT said:

After 928 miles of owning the car, I decided to practice launching the car today. Anyways, I launched it at 1500rpm, floored it thorugh 3500~ish and then went into 2nd. I had the clutch pedal floored but it seemed hard to get it in gear. I can only imagine how "stiff" it'll feel at 5500rpm...Will a Steeda Tri-Ax eliminate this? Or is it the nature of manual transmissions?

Tri-Ax is a shorter but crisper shift, there will be more resistance. However, the Tri-Ax has built in stops so you can be pretty hard on it... though it seems you have pretty easy on your car, so over time the shifts will break in a little. Also 3500 rpm is wierd rpm to shift from 1st to 2nd, your're not even at peak power yet. you will find shifting at around 5500 a little easier and more natural when flooring it...
