    It's Time For A Rebellion, Better Yet A Revolution. My Guns Will Be Loaded!

    smokin... Meh. '06 Speed6 GT, 12,500 miles, Mobil1 synthetic. Wife commutes with it most days, never raced, modded, or even driven hard. Brought it into the dlr. today for a PCM reflash (they did 3 recall notices, required to register car) and a few hours later they call to say it's...

    Looking at '06 MS6...gawd what is that SMELL?

    Still haven't smelled it since that first time. Clutch feels pretty normal now, actually. I figure I'll see how the first 10K miles go, then re-evaluate that TSB. For Type A's they pretty much replace the entire thing. From my VIN it looks like mine was one of the last 5 or 6 Type A's made...

    Oh, that. I guess it showed up after all. I tried embedding it in my sig awhile ago & never saw it so I'd thought it wasn't working. Anyway, yep, it's me, courtesy of SingSnap. (headbang) Guess I need a liability disclaimer on that puppy. You want a SS invite, lemme know...beware tho...

    Looking at '06 MS6...gawd what is that SMELL?

    Funny--we bought without my wife having tried it out. Last night we took it out for her to get used to, so I say, "Now, you're going to kill it the first couple times or so, just like I did." She nods, points it into traffic...and nails the takeoff (doh) @ the next stop, she killed it. Felt...

    It was the clutch. On my test drive I tried to take off from a stop sign in 3rd, b/c I wasn't used to the shifter detents--my old SE-R's stick flops right over to the 1st/2nd gate but the MS6 stays in 3/4 unless you push. I went ahead & bought it anyway...no recurrences yet!

    Looking at '06 MS6...gawd what is that SMELL?

    Thanks...sounds like there are other things it could be besides clutch then. Owner mentioned some kind of coating(?) on the engine. Car is type A and will need the clutch tsb service, probably. What do y'all consider a reasonable deal for a private-party 06 GT, 3k mi, no nav, in mint-ish...

    Looking at '06 MS6...gawd what is that SMELL?

    Looking at a lightly-driven 06 MS6 (3K miles) which I may want to buy... Test drove it the other day, and had the usual 'issues' adjusting to the 'Type A' (according to VIN) clutch...basically, a couple of jerky starts in 1st before I got the hang of it. Hadn't gone more than ~2 min when this...
