My shifting is balky too, and I think this is one of the bigger problems with these cars, from a speed and performance perspective. I'll deal with the tranny issue as soon as I have the resources ($). Unfortunately, shift time is the major contributor to any acceleration slowness I have. The car is pretty light and the engine is stronb, but I spend between 10 and 20% of my hard acceleration time with my foot on the clutch. That slows acceleration CONSIDERABLY.

I suspect that with fresh synchro parts and Swepco, shifting would be MUCH quicker and a G50 is really not necessary. Comments?
