    Manual trans owners--both 4 and 5

    Yes, they told me I had to get the transmission replaced. Took it to them to get it replaced about a month ago. Still feels the same. Always has a bit of a grind into 2nd

    Manual trans owners--both 4 and 5

    did anyone find a solution for this issue (hard shifting into 2nd) other than trading the car in for another one?

    Could this be a clutch issue?

    pretty much. Only difference now is that if i shift slowly out of 2nd it grinds (only occurs if i shift very slowly)

    Could this be a clutch issue?

    I agree with your recommendation and I have an appointment on the 22nd. I already took it to 2 dealers. One dealer straight up lied and said that it's fine when they didn't even drive it and the next dealer told me they replaced the transmission but it feels the same. I'm just trying to get an...

    Could this be a clutch issue?

    Update: Just noticed that if I slowly pull the shifter out of 2nd when moving, it makes a horrible grinding sound (clutch is pressed all the way down) Doesn’t occur when the car is not moving.

    Could this be a clutch issue?

    Update: Clutch fluid level seems 1.5 cm higher than the max level and color seems to be yellow

    Could this be a clutch issue?

    I have a CT4 BW and initially noticed that 2nd gear was hard to engage even when warm. I started to realize that the gear lever slides into 3rd and 4th easily on downshifts AFTER the revs have been matched on the engine (without double clutching). Without rev matching it goes in but not smooth...

    How long do you wait after starting the car to move it off?

    I usually let the engine oil temp get to 120 farenheit. Does anyone else do this?

    Does anyone heel and toe when they daily drive?

    Been trying to learn how to heel and toe in the CT4 BW and from what I can tell the throttle pedal is too low to blip unless you're braking very hard (mostly done on a track or emergency situations). Am I doing something wrong here or is that just how the pedals are placed in this car? Has...

    Redline D4 ATF

    This is my first tr6060. I have driven other manuals that were easier to engage gears in albeit they were not track oriented cars like the blackwings. Maybe I just need to be a bit more aggressive into 2nd.

    Redline D4 ATF

    I only have a problem going into 2nd (upshift and downshift). Sometimes it only goes into 1st halfway but I nudged it a little harder than usual and it seems fine. All others seem relatively fine, albeit I have not shifting extremely fast. I have not bled the clutch since I was under the...

    Redline D4 ATF

    Not sure if "notchy" is the right word (english is not my first language). I meant that the transmission doesn't go into 2nd very easily. The issue is more apparent when its colder however its never really "buttery" smooth even when warm unless I upshift above 3500 rpm or downshift so the revs...

    Redline D4 ATF

    Has anyone used redline D4 ATF for the manual transmission in the blackwings? I'm considering this for using the car in a cold climate to eliminate the notchy shifting. I don't plan on taking it to the track at all.

    Does your BW go fully into every gear when the engine is off?

    It doesn't go into gear easily when running. Service manual said to check it with the engine off as well as on. I have shown it to a dealer but they seemed pretty shady so I'm going elsewhere.

    Does your BW go fully into every gear when the engine is off?

    The reason I asked is because I suspect there may be a synchro issue. Service manual talked about seeing if it went into all gears with the engine off. Mine does not but I wanted to know if it was a common characteristic of the TR6060. Hence the question...
