I'm new to the forum and have had my Z for about 6 months.
I have found the first-to-second shift to be somewhat "tempermental" especially when the engine is not completely warmed up and/or when power-shifting. I have driven sticks my entire life, including 911SC in 80s, so I consider myself competent. Like the Porsche, feel seems critical to a good shift from 1 to 2. I get an occasional gear-on-gear "click" and have also experienced the slight movement of the block but only when the engine is cold. Lubrication seems critical to every aspect of this engine running smoothly. Which brings me to my question -- has anyone used Castol instead of the ester oil and what is your opinion?
