lol.... i've only had my car for about a month... love it... I've only been driving a stick for a month.. hehe... but never missed a shift... I don't know.. though I am having a little trouble starting up hill... i just give it a lot of gas and go.. haha

 

I don't feel that anyone should miss a shift if you're just driving normally. WOT is a different story, but this is my first car and I've never missed a gear. Granted I've never really gone WOT or redlined my car.

 

pwn!

 

I've never missed a gear in my TC and I've been driving stick since 1995, so I don't know what else to say.

 

thank goodness...otherwise...

 

blah blah blah. enough. can we be hater free for a second. i know that shifting on the tc is short but i myself had some getting used to, to do, like everyone has to w/ a new car and im sure when u change the setup. constructive criticism is ok, hating is not

 

I have a TWM shoft shifter. If I try to shift from 1->2 really fast, it'll grind sometimes. This didn't happen before the short shifter, but I think that's probably just because I couldn't shift as fast with the stock setup.

 

ya i know this is a late reply but what is WOT?

 

Wide open throttle

 

yall can be some dicks... if you dont have anything helpful to add why do you even waste your time typing? So people you dont know will think your cool?

 

I learned how to drive a MT on a truck, and i still drive that truck

so getting a tC would be a dream for me...i might throw the shifter so far down and snap it off

 

I 100% agree with you. I've driven stick for 15 years. I've raced several cars on the track, so I *know* what I am doing. The tc is the only car I have ever had any kind of problems with grinding or missing shifts (and not while speed shifting either).

 

I missed 2nd gear once. In fact, I missed 2nd and 3rd gear. Was really tired at night and I went from 1st to 4th by accident.

 

how the heck u miss gears, i havent been driving stick that long but when i just learned i have never missed a gear wuts up dude

 

I learned to drive stick on a 2001 BMW 545i 6 spd. After test driving the tC, I realize what normal car tranny's feel like.

You're spoiled when you drive a 6 spd Bimmer, we have a 2006 325i with a 6 spd now, and that thing is soooo easy to launch, shift, and start off from a stop.

 

Hahaha. this topic really cracks me up. It's simple 1-2-3-4-5. Then when you top out at 5th slam into (R). That will give you some extreme acceleration. (Negative Acceleration)

 

I drove my friends tC with the TWM SS Stage 2...i caught on right away, it was really easy.

 

some people still don't realize the fact that u aren't actually "missing' 2nd...his timing is just off...im sure more people have missed 2nd at WOT and won't admit to it because they think its embarassing or something...give the guy help if he needs it..i dont see why there is so much bashing "dude whats up? u can get second" I've missed 2nd b4 because of timing as well...but long story short...haters need to stop hatin'

 

players are gunna play, and haters are gunna hate, its what they do hahah

jus keep practicing man you will get it down

 

LMAO
