What was it you didn't like? Did the clutch have a really high catch point? It's a shame because I heard the tremec in the new Mach 1 is wonderful. They should be using that in all the GT's.
It grabbed to high and abrupt, hard to get a smooth release. I wanted a manual but was a little gun shy after that drive. I tried test driving the tremic at a local dealership but they wanted me to do a bunch of paperwork and to agree to a $2.5K ADP
I don't think anything's wrong per se, there isn't even any chatter with the clutch. I think the main problem for me is I feel I have no control of the gas pedal in terms of trying to just give it a little bit of gas. That seems almost impossible when engine is under no load. I just touch the pedal and vrrroooooom!
It's that combined with the fact the clutch catches so high and with very little grab feeling.
So it's like the engine is revving as I am slowly releasing the clutch pedal waiting for some type of grab feeling that isn't there. Releasing it more, still not there, meanwhile engine is just revving, than it finally just suddenly catches. I feel embarrassed driving it, like I said people around me must be like WTF.
But other than the engagement issues everything seems to physically work ok if you know what I mean.
