Mine feels alright in 4th. Acceleration definately goes down some, but I wouldn't say it falls flat on it's ***.

Gearing's a lot longer than the Bseries guys, doesn't really just "fall out" though.

Yes. I believe this is the solution for many of life's problems. I know it's the solution for all of mine.

yeah but you have 400whp too. I'd be damned if it didn't pull hard in every gear.

full throttle shift

for me 2nd-3rd is where i grind my gears.

with a si tranny, people think im spraying when i race, then i have to explain to them that is just how the 3rd gear is geared.

try FTSing into 4th and see if that helps.
it did for me.

yea from my experience 2nd gear and 3rd gear do NOT like high rpm shifts...i dont know how many times ive tried to shift at 7800rpm or so and it just locks me out.....in my experieces if i rev over 7500rpm and try to go into 2nd...WONT go. if i try and rev over 7800 to go into 3rd...WONT go. but 3-4 i can take it to 8+ and it goes everytime...and thats fts too...i fts every gear exept 1-2 thats going to be where i make the most of my time up at the track, when i can finaly get a good 1-2 shift.
