I've been terrible on my 1-2 shifts - many ugly grinding misses - but have never missed any 2-3 or 3-4 shifts. Usually it's the 2-3 that gets me. Not in this car. Sometimes I'll nail 2nd and get some grinding which tells me I just barely made it!

It has gotten somewhat better since the short shift knob install but I still have no confidence when I attempt a WOT 6000 rpm quick shift. Forget powershifting 1-2. On the other hand, I nail the 2-3 with a hard chirp every time.

Now on the 1-2 I just shift a little tiny bit slower and I never miss. I still get that hard chirp or a little wheel hop, I don't fall off boost and no more fear of revving it to 10K! I ordered the Zeck CDV so we'll see if that helps.
