1st to 2nd shifting notchiness

[pecco1988]

hello i have a DH premium and i was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. my 1st to 2nd gear shifts feel a little bit notchy (if that makes sense) its not grinding or anything. just not as smooth as every other gear. is this normal or is there a potential problem. i dont hear any weird noise or grinding or anything like that

The 1-2 shift in every manual transmission I've owned has always been like that. I'd say that is normal.

it will smooth out as you put miles on!

Mine does that the 1st shift of the morning when the transmission is cold.

I'm at around 3000 miles, so that feel, I think you are experiencing, will go away. It did for my 2024 GT. When I switch drive modes, I am starting to see improvents for how it reacts. The only thing I have noticed is when I let off the gas after speeding up is that the transmission hesitates to down shift. I am not complaining because I love the sound of the exhaust popping when it does.

Read the GT350 and Mach 1 forums about changing the fluid and what it will do for shift quality. They use the same Tremec 3160 gearbox. The Motorcraft fluid is crap. I put Redline D6 in mine and what a vast improvement. If you change the fluid, the owner's manual quantity doesn't take in account the cooler and the lines, your going to need a little less than 1 gal.
