Is your an 7A also? How do you get rid of the engine ping? My wife usually just let off the throttle for like a second and it would be fine afterward. It never occur once it gets going or any other gear higher than 1st.
According to most, the best way to get rid of it is higher octane fuel. Another option is to get on it more in first- you're wife may be lugging the engine a little. I can't say for sure, but the situation your wife describes may constitute a heavy load.

Mine is a 6MT. I notice it in 2nd + 3rd when lower than 2k RPM and evenly accelerating. Anytime the load is lessened it stops.
