Your not alone. This car seems impossible to shift smooth when the a/c is on. rpm's dip down too much when you shift or if you give it gas its always too much and you end up going in the next gear at to high an rpm. The 2 major ways i've found out that make it hard to shift is what kind of shoes you are wearing and how your seat is positioned. It seems like somedays im just uncomfortable the way I sit and that I always have the steering wheel extended as far as it will go. Im not short either. 6'0. Also seems like I shift better the higher my saet is. But not too high so my head gets near the roof.

Wow and I thought it was just me... Some days rock... The car is fast and wants to just go faster and faster and then some days its just not as happy. I always thought it was the heat. One of the previous posters hit it dead on the drive to the store can suck but the drive home can rock.

i bought a pair of Sparco race sneakers, real comfortable, maximum shifting and throttle control, rolled heel for h&t shifts, reinforced outer foot. and i dont look like a clown when i walk around with them since they're black

Maybe its just me but, some days i drive my car perfectly, and other days the car will jump, skip, stall... I'll apply to much throttle hold the clutch too long... is it me or the car?

I just keep having this self conscious feeling that i wont be able to win a race because i'll mess up the launch... am I alone on this?


Thanks guys

It's the car. They all have this problem. Mine was built after the clutch TSB issue so it's not that, but mine is the same way. Can't wait to get rid of it

A/c on or off isn't the issue...

I dont have much of a problem when its off. Also in the winter its worse than say the summer.

from sparco themselves www.sparcousa.com they are called Pitlane's, and for 70$ so so so so worth it, or you can get the real deal racing shoes which are more money, but of more dedicated quality. I've had them for 2 years, they are still in perfect condition. used at least 300 times.

Must be discontinued. No longer there, and cheapest now is $149.
