Nonetheless, the transmission is a GREAT transmission, and the clunk-clunk-clunk noise can be avoided. Its just not something you would expect from a $40k sports car. Although I guess it isn't... it is a $30k sports car with $10k in options lol.

I've read no less than 2 people say that the 1st->2nd shift definitely smoothed out past 5k miles. Certainly not what we want to hear, but it gives me hope.

Shifting to 2nd certainly feels a little rougher than my 72 Bug's shift from 1st to 2nd. Getting into 6th requires a little more effort than other gears, but that's not too much different than other similarly geared vehicles, I believe.
