i have been noticinng this for awhile, but i thought id ask..does 1st gear feel dort of "funny" to you guys ? like the shifter clicks when you accelerate ? when i accelerate hard in first gear and my hand is on the shifter i feel a distinct click or notch..im a little worried but im still under warranty..soo...

 

I wouldn't say mine clicks. It shifts a little when i accelerate hard. I actually like that. Feels like i got some power in my hand

 

I don't feel any clicks but it scares me how much movement there is when I hold the shifter when touching the gas pedal. It makes me take my hand off the shifter because it feels so bad.

 

Can't say I've experienced any of the behaviors that people have posted so far. Mine shifts smoothly.

 

Hold the shifter in your hand in 1st gear and hit the gas and then let off, my shifter moves alot.

 

The shifter will rock in your hands because there is a direct connection to the motor and tranny. Just think of it as the copious amounts of torque being generated by the VQ. Actually the rubber motor and trans mounts are letting everything move around. Solution?, switch to a urethane motor mount.

 

I didn't quite understand what you guys were saying but now I believe you are just feeling the tortion of the car. When you floor it the car is going to bend as the wheels pull the car forward. It's more pronounced in first because this is the point where the greatest force is required.

 

i kno exactly wat u are talking about... it sometimes even jumps out of the gate... redline has since fixed that... to an extent
