tl;dr What are the torque values for the bolts for the transmission cross member? I'm going to swap out the trans fluid in my 2023 4BW to Amsoil Torquedrive in an effort to improve shifting. As you all probably know, the drain plug is right above the transmission cross member. While it is...

I use another orange style jack pad with included rubber blocks that came with my QuickJack. The rubber blocks make contact with the rear suspension bracket, but they're soft enough that they don't damage it, while providing enough clearance to the QuickJack not to make contact with the rockers...

Ya, I wish I had known this the first time I went to the drag strip. I read in the manual that PTM Race2 will yield the most consistent acceleration times, so I went for Track with PTM Race2, which was a mistake. It was that statement in the manual that made me think Race2 allowed the least...

Mine at work parked next to a wall and an empty spot that literally no one ever parks in. It's perfect. This was when I just got it, before my Sly Bracket, so I had the front plate in the window.

Yeah, I see you're in Minnesota, so like me, you have around 5-6 months below 40F. I have my winter tires on now, and while they are Michelin Pilot Alpine PS4 apparently developed for the Carrera in winter, I'm not sure how much I'll push them considering I'm running a square setup (narrower...

Thanks for sharing the Spring Mountain specs. It's a '23 that I bought used with 6,700 miles on it, so definitely not fresh off the truck. I also have an air compressor and keep the pressures at 35 almost obsessively, but I'll try lowering them to see if that helps. But I was under the...

I tried out the launch control the other day on my 4BW 6M and was getting really bad wheel hop. It was a typical New England fall day: dry as a bone and sunny with temps in the mid-40s. My tire pressures were 35 all around, slightly warmed up to about 36 psi per the dash indicator, and I'm...

It's kinda funny you should say that. I've read Vette, Challenger, and Blackwing forum posts on the Tremec 6060, and it's all over the place. Some swear by Royal Purple Synchromax, others Redline D4, and yet others Tremec's own HP-MTF. Like @Andi said, this may just be the way these trannys...

Thanks for doing this, Rob! Can you add 2023 4BW 6M to the list? VIN 1G6DL5RP9P0460339 Window sticker is attached.

Did you notice improved shifting after switching to HP-MTF?

Ha, yeah. I've only heard about that monstrosity of an idea. That must have been absolutely awful.

Exactly.

Do you recall which Redline oil you used?

I have a '23 4BW with the 6M. It's my understanding that these Tremec TR6060 transmissions are known for notchy 1-2 shifts, especially when cold. There's an older post here at ************** about the same shifting issue in an ATS-V. I've noticed the transmission can also be a little notchy...

I do want to hear it, that's why I asked!
