Gear changes

Thanks GT_Dave for your advice. I guess I don't understand how the clutch spring would affect what happens with the shifter since my problem will happen even when I have the clutch pressed all the way to the floor before starting to shift and then keeping it there until I'm in the next gear. Wouldn't the effect of the spring be neutralized at that point?
Hi Rich I too am having problems with gear changes. Usually going into 1st it grinds, that never happens in my other cars. I also notice that the transmission is hesitant to go into gear at low RPM but shifts smoothly above 3000 RPM. I think it is part of the design of the Tremec 3160 6 speed. I have complained to both Ford and Tremec and both tole me that nothing is wrong with my car. I think we just need to drive faster. 😎
