I recently hit 5900 miles and it dawned on me that my tranny is no longer notchy in any gear, wheter the vehicle is warm or cold. The car now shifts just as smoothly as any manual car i have owned. I was wondering if many other people are gettingthis as well or am i just a lucky guy tooting my own horn.

 

well my car is also no longer notchy.......however I only have about 3000 on miles but i can just about guarantee that 2000 of those have been on a track or very spirited driving.....But i noticed that mine had stopped at about 2500 miles

 

Yeah, mine is a lot less notchy with 1000 miles, I thought is may be a problems with some bushings....

 

humm , interesting - maybe its just a matter of breaking-in the tranny ? I've never had this issue but I hope for everyone else that its nothing serious as yours tuned out to be .

8700 miles and mine is still notchy on cold starts

 

im at almost 11k and its only notchy when i first start it...but after that its smooth as silk

 

a little over 3k and it was crunchy going into third yesterday when I was going home from work.

 

I just hit 1k miles and it has definitely smoothed out in the last 100 miles. Occassionally I get a little notch in 2nd or 3rd, but for the first 900 miles it was on almost every shift, now 1 in 20. People were mentioning this same smooth-out at 1k in the sticky thread so I had my fingers crossed.

 

My car was still as notchy at 8200 miles (when I traded it in) as it was day 1.

 

Off Topic: Man Noize you got rid of the X in a hurry..how are you like that little 1 series.

 

Yep, mine still notchy at 10750 miles.

 

6100 miles and same crunch as day 1.

 

Liking it! Not missing the X transmission. Missing the X handling and the super grippy X seats a lot.

 

My tranny was always notchy till I put some redline and ams bushings in it. Now it was perrrfect.

It never stopped me from shifting it hard though. I love my tranny! Shifts perfect at 8k.

 

yeah i have made a lot of spirited shifts and once i finally figured out that my clutch doesnt like the full swing of the arm, i am shifting like a pro lol. I barely blip the clutch and pop the gears. before i was using almost full swing of the clutch and getting lots of lockout.

lol geo I'm still stock but i swear the car begs for those redline shifts.. i swear it i say!
