Default C6 6spd

Does anybody know if the cold shifting problem 1st to 2nd 2nd to 3rd on the 08 and 09 manual 6spd has been corrected on the 2010 cars? It's fine when it warms up but a 67,000 corvette should'nt have this problem!

I think he means it being "clunky" and stubborn sometimes.

I make it a point to "pump" the clutch pedal in the morning about 10 times before I put it into 1st gear, this works wonders for my '08 Z06.
I don't know if it makes any sense or not, but never the less, it seems to work.

My 05 does the same thing. Once it's warmed up it shifts just fine. I wouldn't worry my 99 Honda accord does the same thing.

And pray that you don't... It's has a slight grind from 1st to 2nd, and from 2nd to 3rd in my 09... Until it warms up, I push the clutch in until the RPM's come down then shift. After she warms , no problem...
