Its a hydraulic issue that 90% still wont be 100% even with good slaves and masters. Freak Z will tell you the same thing. SO its hit or miss whether or not you get to hit it right and get it in the gears.
hence why I never missed a gear.... I shifted the bitch much slower than I was capable of. This isnt my first time to drive a 6-speed... my ex father had a Firebird WS6.
