Manual trans owners--both 4 and 5

Have you taken it to the dealer to be assessed?

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

Maybe find a second dealer to take it to. The car I traded in had two replacement transmissions. Based on what they found after the first replacement, I am willing to bet the first replacement transmission wasn’t done right. I will never know for sure. These cars are complicated and there is lots that can go wrong on reassembly

5V BW, 1-2 shift is the best i've seen. Engages like butter. Sorry to hear about your tranny issues.

I took 10 minutes and removed the stickers from my Mondrian edition. Next is black mirror caps and the look I was after is complete. I saved the old stickers as a reference in the event the car is worth more later with them on. I can just have them made. This car shifts the way my first car should have. Finally the Blackwing experience I was seeking all along.

Looks great. With all the carbon fiber you have, consider the carbon fiber mirror caps to tie in nicely.

I ended up going with the black from the dealer. It matches the window trim and I was afraid the aftermarket carbon weave might not match the other factory carbon.
