3rd gear engagement

2nd - notchy,
3rd - smooth as a baby's butt

Well it's definitely not smooth as a baby's butt every time, but I can't tell if it's getting worse. I've noticed it for awhile, but I just haven't been sure whether it's the shift or not.

Oh well - I'll see if it gets worse... thanks all.

Cool, please keep us updated. IMO, 2nd and 6th are the only gears that are kinda notchy.

So I'm not the only one thinking 2nd and 6th.
Was wondering if I should bring this up when I take it in for it's 1st service. This isn't my first manual but is my first Z, so is this something we just live with?

Upshift into second seems to feel clunky at times. On occasion, shifting into third has the same feel to it.

So, I take it this is a commonality among the 370's? Or is there a potential problem?
