    break pedal can the height be lowered

    If you're looking to decrease the height difference between the throttle and the brake to heel and toe, pull off the pedal cover on the brake and stick some high grit grip tape on it.

    Does anyone heel and toe when they daily drive?

    Update: Pull off the brake pedal cover and slap on some high grit grip tape. Works like a charm because the brake pedal cover is thick.

    Spring Mountain Curriculum

    I’ve booked the 2 day driving experience at spring mountain in a CT5 BW. Do they teach you how to heel and toe and do they have a section on drifitng?

    SRP Pedal Installation

    Does anyone have experience installing the pedal faces? I am just not sure if drilling into the accelerator pedal can go through any wires inside the pedal since it is electronic.

    Service manual shows skip shift feature

    I noticed this for the 2023 CT4 BW in the service manual after looking to see why shifting into 2nd gear is blocked. Anyone know how to get rid of this?

    Buyback experience

    If anyone has had any experiences with Cadillac/GM buying the car back please let me know how it went. I initiated a buyback process about 3/4 weeks ago (car has 1600 miles as of today) because the transmission wouldn't shift well and was probably the worst one I've driven. I was told it would...

    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.
