Hello - I have 07 Vantage V8, sportshift with 14500 Miles, have had the car almost a year. I have several questions around the Sportshift transmission.

Recently I was trying to reverse into a parking space in flat surface, it took me several tries due to the limited space in the garage (I live in SF), the car jerks every time either on 1st or reverse, as if the clutch takes a while to engage. However, this time the car stalled and died while reversing. Has anyone experienced that? and what could be the issue?

Any feedback is appreciated

 

Have you done the 'kiss' procedure for the clutch to measure the point of contact? There is threads in this forum about the method. After that, on my 09 Vantage I used to wait about 20 seconds after starting before going into gear. With my newer Vantage, it indicates when the transmission is ready.
