i have the factory ssk and it's always a bit ... tough to shift through gears. First is VERY hard especially when it's cold. 2nd and 3rd are bit rough, 4th to 6th are fairly ok. So I was driving it this past weekend and I think something happened. It's not progressive, it's just suddently a change.

Now every gear shifts like as if I'm cutting butter. I can literally shift w/ 2 fingers, every gear. Can anyone explain this sudden change? I suspect that it's because my driving skillz increased overnight.

Just kidding about the skillz thing

 

wonder it's a break in type of thing. my SS is only tough during cold temp and only for 1st gear. but i have noticed as car is reaching 2k miles, it may have gotten gradually better. as puzzle as your case may seem, it's a good thing.

 

it's so damn smooth it's amazing. I love driving it even more now. 3800 miles so far, in about 6 months ... damn I need to drive it more.

 

i got in 600 miles in first 2 months. but every miles was a pleasant one. i do need to drive more too!

 

I don'y have ssk but sometimes it feels like cutting butter while at most times it feels like cutting iron. Am I the only one with this issue?

 

I had a tough time getting into first on a few occasions during break in. Now I have about 3400 miles and haven't had any issues with shifting.

 

I know the problem Robert... You got too many vehicles.

And you thought I was gonna say something about your stereo didn't you?

 

I have ssk and it goes into each forward gear with no problem.....reverse can be almost impossible at times...maybe time for an adjustment

 

I have the ssk too. I noticed the same thing as you, I have 3400 miles on my car and I has definately softened up ALOT.

 

drove her again this morning, smoo as butter.

 

stop driving your car while eating biscuits and butter, then try the shifter.

 

damn, it's now very rough again. Need more biscuits.

 

You need COOKIES
