So I drove the M-code all this past week & put 400 miles on her. Lots & lots of compliments.
However, at times I thought I sure would like an automatic because this thing is hard to shift. And it is hard to shift. If I tried to power shift it I think I would blow the engine first because it takes a pretty good effort to pull the shifter to 2nd gear. 3rd & 4th aren't so bad but still pretty stiff. Maybe I've become a pansy because I can shift my VW with 1 finger, but this Mach had me muscling the row boat gear pattern with gusto.
Any ideas why it's such a pull on the oar?
