Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / January 2007Hard shifting into 3rd a problem with C5, others?
I tried hard shifting a C5 ('99) 6-speed manual under full acceleration into 3rd gear a few times. I always had a difficult time. It was frustrating. I couldn't do it right. Are there others who can say the same about C5. Or is this a common thing more to any Vettes more in general than just the C5. It definitely screwed up the thrill, more than once. I am a right hander to begin with, about 5-9-1/2", fairly strong male. Is this a design flaw? It was as if the gate was only designed to be pushed directly forward, and not a direct shove which naturally comes out straight from your shoulder which would be at an angle to the front to rear vector of the car. > I tried hard shifting a C5 ('99) 6-speed manual under full acceleration into > 3rd gear a few times.

Is the centering spring bringing the lever in line with the 3-4 gates? Clutch OK? Is CAGS disabled on this car? If not, your around-town experience may be 'poisoning' your feel with a lot of throttle.

More or less: Really! And, which parts/drawing numbers seem to be flawed ? One more time -- I understand the issue was at WOT but, what's the status of CAGS on this car?

He's probably hit 3rd harder and more often than most drivers. > I should have stated that more or less I am suspicious that this is a > definite design flaw- I know, shhh. > > ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- > http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups > ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- which forum? > Perhaps you should ask Ranger over on Corvette forum.
