Hey if you got it you got it!!! I’ve only had mine for about 6 months now so I’m still learning it. In my 03 Gt with 150shot of Nos putting out almost 400rwhp I’d powershift that thing all day but I’ve been on the road in the Shelby and have done a WOT quick 1-2 shift and broke the wheels lose and had to pedal it so I can only imagine what would happen if I powershifted that thing. Once I get this 2nd gear lock out problem resolved though and I’m confident that 2nd will be there whenever I need it to be then I’ll start playing with different shifting techniques. Anymore I just pray right before a race that it’ll go into 2nd...lol Props on your shifting skills...it Def is an art form for sure and when done right just totally adds to the overall driving experience of these awesome machines!!!!

Thank You. I watched your video and believe you would easily have had StangMode if you didn't have the 2nd gear lockout problem. Trust me, I cannot power shift from 1st to 2nd or even 3rd with the 315 DR's or I would be in real trouble. I can barely get it to hook in 3rd while speed shifting. Are you sure the pressure of racing a friend didn't get to you as opposed to just racing for a good time slip? Anyhow Good Luck on fixing your issue.

I inquired about the same thing six months ago and got a great response from the forum. My Tremec TR6060 had the 1-2 shift grind right from the get-go out of the showroom, after break-in. The common answer was to get a better shifter so I took a weekend off and drove Augusta, GA and had MGW install their latest (no labor cost when they do it at their facility). Their shifter was a great investment (took "The Tail of the Dragon" (US-129 home). Shifting was a dream...a vast improvement over the OEM...but the 1-2 gear clash remained. It was then that someone on the forum showed me the video:

. Mind you, Ford refuses to acknowledge the issue and Tremec direct isn't any better because of the politics. The crumby carbon synchro is put in the production TR6060 because the Big Three want a very quiet 1-2 shift and thus their replacement part is the same thing. Because Tremec doesn't want to piss off their big customers, they won't tell you either. But not only does Tremec know the problem, but have the fix in their own parts bin! Apparently Tremec dealers also know the fix. It's their part # TUES10357 and costs around $79. I've got a Tremec "Elite" dealer right down the street and they stock the thing it's so popular. D & D Performance 248-735-6220 (Don Walsh Sr. and Jr.) My 2014 has the extended warranty and the dealer is going to install my part under warranty in a couple of weeks! I'll report after the recommended 200 mile break-in. BTW, the dealer's service manager also told me to just "shift under 5300 RPM" until I explained why one buys this kind of car ....and he watched the video.

Sometimes an anxious driver will get in such a hurry that he'll short press the clutch. Make sure that's not your problem.

Once again I'll post this; do you want to get rid of the sh!tty "second gear grind", the useless "first gear off the line", trashed "OEM Clutches", Sloppy "OEM shifting"...

Take the car to a Manufacture Tremec REP...
1. The synchro's have to be replaced, THEY have them. The UPGRADED synchro's let you shift up and down as fast and hard as you CAN shift !
2. Have FIRST and SECOND gears changed to 10-15% higher. Lets you stay in and USE first and second gears without you having to bang immediately up !
3. Install the McLeod RXT 1200 Clutch and assembly; Plate, Discs, Flywheel, bearing, stainless braided line. My OEM came out in eleven pieces at around 3500miles.
4. Install the MGW 2 short throw shifter. Fast and extremely positive accurate shifting !
5. Mobile One oil.
6. BMR; ADJUSTABE: LCA, UCA, Relocates, Trackbar and brace
7. Eibach ProSport lowering springs.
8. DSS, 3.5" one-piece Driveshaft, w/BMR Loop.
9. 373 gears if you don't have them.

A. VMP magic... Gen2r or gen 3 TVS... Injectors, Idler, G2 w/2.4... amazing. G3w/2.65 and 10% over on lower... insane. And Tune!
B. RaceStars w/ MTDR's. (On 15" rear wheels requires Antisway relocates.)
C. A 93 tune w/ a little Boostane.
E. In Excess of 750rwhp and TQ.

NOW you can LAUNCH that thing as nearly as hard as you want... without it being sideways silly.

^^ This IS what it takes... This and the nerve to do it w/o concern of breaking something, and if you do be prepared to fix it.
