Needless to say I love my GT, but I have come to the point where I am so fed up with the way this car shifts.
I daily drive my car and obviously with the performance packs short gearing I spend a lot of time shifting. I have an original, non trans mounted Barton shifter and BG Synchro Shift II Trans fluid and the shifting is still awful.
I was just driving home and got on it from a red light and every time I shift into second gear it feels like the trans is fighting me, it does not want to shift into second smoothly. The rest of the gears (except 5th) are alright, not great but they shift into gear relatively smoothly.
My question is would it be worth it to switch to a different short shifter? Or is this just an MT-82 issue that I am stuck with? The shifter i would get would be a MGW trans mounted shifter but I don't know enough about cars and shifters to know if this would actually help. I put the Barton in with about 1,000 miles on it and the car now has about 22k miles. I just put the new trans oil in a couple thousand miles ago and to be honest it didn't make a big difference.
I really want to get the most enjoyment out of my car as possible but when I'm constantly doing something with the car that feels so shitty it really takes away from that enjoyment.
Any recommendations help!
