  1. Shifts are sometimes clunky

    Definitely will do. I doubt the recall is what I was originally describing, but I'll let you know for sure. I already took it to the dealer and they said "we'll let you know when we can do anything about it" - I'm guessing not until well after quarantine.
  2. Shifts are sometimes clunky

    Re: jamming into first gear problem - I did receive a recall notice for the reverse gear lockout interfering with first gear. I haven't personally experienced it, but you may want to look into that.
  3. Shifts are sometimes clunky

    Yes, sitting in neutral with the clutch pedal up. I did try the second -> first thing and it behaves exactly like you described. That effect makes total sense to me. The only thing I don't quite understand is the rough feeling through the gear lever, seemingly until everything heats up, then it...
  4. Shifts are sometimes clunky

    I just took a longer drive in the warmest weather I've had so far this year, and I noticed that after about 30 minutes of driving, it smooths out completely.
  5. Shifts are sometimes clunky

    Yeah if it is just the feel of the synchros then that's totally fine with me. Just wanted to make sure nothing is broken or wearing more than it should be. Frankly, I've never owned a car with a transmission with this much feel, so I don't have any good reference points.
  6. Shifts are sometimes clunky

    2018 GT350 w/ about 1500 miles on it. I think this has existed since day 1, but I've started to notice it more as I've gotten more and more familiar with the car. Often times when I shift into first gear when at a complete stop, I'll notice a "clunk" sound coming from under the car right as it...
  7. Ordering vs Buying from Dealer

    Thanks for the advice everyone! I took the idea of shopping around for 18s that are still being sold as new on dealers lots. I found one that has the exact color combo and options I was looking for, and it was listed for a few grand below the original sticker price. When I got there to check...
  8. Buying a used GT350

    I'm debating between buying a used GT350 or a new GT PP2. I could technically afford to buy a new GT350, but I tend to be a bit conservative with my money and would always prefer to spend a lot less than I can. It looks like you can get a GT350 with low mileage in the low $50,000s in my area...
  9. Ordering vs Buying from Dealer

    Very helpful everyone! Thanks for all the advice. You guys should be getting commission from Ford.
  10. Ordering vs Buying from Dealer

    Excellent, thanks for the advice. When you say "deal", did you end up getting them to knock off money from the sticker price, or just get it closer to the MSRP? I don't have a good sense of how much people are taking this off the lot for.
  11. Ordering vs Buying from Dealer

    How much of an impact on demand does the warmer weather have? There are 3 options at dealers in my immediate area that I really like, but if I pull the trigger now, the car will pretty much be sitting around for the next 2-3 months barring nice days here and there. Obviously come March/April, I...
  12. Ordering vs Buying from Dealer

    Cool, this makes me feel a bit more confident in the leather seats. I'm not overweight, but a pretty broad and tall guy, and I want to be able to take it out on substantial road trips.
  13. Ordering vs Buying from Dealer

    Did you mean to say "Recaros are very *un*comfortable to some?
  14. Ordering vs Buying from Dealer

    Yeah good point. I just read that advice elsewhere on this forum ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  15. Ordering vs Buying from Dealer

    I'm looking to buy a new GT350 this spring, and since this would be my first time purchasing a new car I have some questions! I've found a couple cars that fit my specs that are already at dealers in my area, but I've read that I should have the car thoroughly inspect if it's been sitting on...
