I thought the 2nd gear was wonky but im new to driving a sport car manual and chalked it up to me learning how to drive her . All my experience on driving manual is in a work van 20 years ago(3 on the tree) for about 10 years.

Yeah it was crazy to me that chevy realized it too, otherwise the feedback on the shifter is awesome

I heard there is a part that costs 16$ that removes the fuel saving shifts(idk if that's the correct way to word it) do you no if this is true?

Thought: 2nd gear being difficult is another part of the 1-4 skip shift? You gotta jump through some hoops with the EPA to produce a car like this anymore. I don’t know how true this is, but just for thought: 1-4 skip shift increases epa mileage, 2nd gear being hard to get into increases likelihood of drivers using skip shift, thus validating it’s epa est city mileage that nobody will ever get. Because auto makers have to have a certain epa mileage over all vehicles, they have to squeeze out another 1-2 mpg here and there. Also, 19 mustang does the same fwd lurch off throttle under 20mph. Super annoying and makes it look like you can’t drive

My 2nd gear is not that bad (2017 SS 1LE) but i know what you're talking about. My 2015 SS was like that too. i always figured that they just beefed up 2nd gear, the linkage or whatever, because thats the gear your most likely to really slam into gear when you get on it.

He doesn't want to thrown back in his seat. He will probably complain when he drives a Lamborghini😂😂

Same

You will absolutely love the car, it's an absolute beast brotha, thanks!

Damn I will definitely need to check this out, thanks

@@macpettit2327 Seriously? You weren't aware of the skip shift eliminator plug? You've got to get out more, sir.

Was going to say this, expeirence the same thing on my r6, when you snap off the throttle, it has very aggressive stock engine braking, and will make you feel like you're breaking and being pulled down. Just strong engine breaking coming with a bigger engine that has an aggressive engine braking on the stock tune and NA vs an sti that's trying to keep boost. I love engine braking, but sometimes it's too much and you have to tune it out to be more smooth so you don't get squirrely in corners mid shift or on wet days.

Thanks man, really appreciate it! Love the Miata build

Shoot, I am deffinetly going to need to look into this! Thanks!

Yes the left arm on the rocker saves my back bolster and my back. Now the seat bolster it helps with but it's not as easy to totally lift my 260 lb ass without dragging it on it some. 😋

Such a blast to drive, it's just such a quirk, not sure how that made it through!

Yea second gear pops out in mine if i dont push it in hard enough.

That's the Tremec TR6060 transmission isn't it?

engine braking

Just shift at 3000rpm then it’s fine

Helps a lot if you change your trans fluid to a higher quality one as well.

I really want to drive a 10 speed SS, I've heard so many great things about it!

@@macpettit2327 since you own a zl1, im sure it would be no issue for you if you went to a chevy dealership to trst drive a new 10 speed ss camaro

Yeah I bought one of those this week, going to try it on this weekend and test it out, hoping it works!

Nice car

@@BT-ve5pv thank you

yeah i love my 6th gen convertible. feel like nobody knows....

It’s there in first gear, but it’s also there in 2nd and Atleast in my car it’s pretty significant; not an overall dealbreaker of course though

@@macpettit2327 Thanks for the reply. I'm really wanting to get a ss 1le after watching a ton of videos on them... my dumbass bought a 2019 fiesta st last year lol.. it's still a fun zippy little car, but I want that raw power, handling, and sound from a Camaro.. plus they look way better..

I dont have the problem because my model is automatic with standard option on paddles and on the gear, but as such doesnt have a clutch. also its 8 speed. I absolutely love the hybrid transmission in my gen6th more than was in my gen5. but yeah I would not get a standard, the automatic/hybrid is so cool.. you might sacrifice a tad of the responsiveness, since I think chevy governs the automatic response, but I am willing to forsake that for the absolute coolness of the hybrid auto/manual transmission its so cool imo.

It really through me off guard, thought something was wrong with my transmission for a while!

Yeah me too I thought something it was wrong with the transmission even I brought it to the dealership And they said no problem at all but I drove my friends 2019 The same problem too I guess the T 5656 It’s not the good

same for me

I will have to look into this! I appreciate the advice!

He's the best! Thanks brotha

I really wish they didn't include it haha

Damn, learn something new everyday thanks brotha 👍

Long lost family! haha Thanks man!

Pooh Bear20 my 17 RS also does this, its pretty suspect lol.

"gear lash" is just engine braking

@@Toymonkeyjr he might be talking about just engine braking and not using the proper term saying gear Lash. But gear lash is not engine braking. Gear lash is the amount of play you have between the gears.. and when I say in between the gears I don't mean between first and second gear I mean between the actual gears in the differential or the transmission. If you have too much gear Lash you can create chatter and pitting on the surfaces and or have improper lubrication between the gears, and if it's too tight again you can have improper lubrication between the gears and create added friction. So his term of gear lash is not technically correct as what I think he's trying to say is engine braking. But my question to him is whether or not he had an electric locking differential or a limited slip because a lot of electronic locking differentials stay open after a certain speed, say 40 mph for example but then they will lock when you get below a certain speed and or apply a certain level of throttle and or braking they will open or close depending on what's needed.. so my question was whether or not what he is feeling is the ELD engaging and disengaging at lower speeds.

@@adamhose5231 that friction doesn't cause you to be jerked forward though, at least as violently, I get what you mean though. The reason why it happens in 1st and 2nd under 40mph is because of the greater torque, and thus stronger engine braking.

Thanks man! I deffitently agree, love this car way to much

Ah I haven’t had a button in so long I forgot, sure would be nice to have

Right. Such an underrated color

Maybe one day 30 years in the future haha

t upole new 5.0 do it too. Actually worse

I personally prefer the SS interior quite a bit better, the 6th gen platform to me just felt much more planted, it's all personal preference though!

Main differences are that the Camaro has less visibility, is lighter, and more low-end torque but less high end power.

How???

@@clints8731 put the back seat down. Pull the passenger seat all the way forward. Remove the headrest on the passenger side. Slides right in with a half inch to spare on both sides. Slide the seat back and you still have room for a passenger.

That’s what I thought. No answer.

@gl0inup - Not for 30k

Found one for 28k in hurst Texas

Totally correct. I have a ZL1. What your experiencing is torque dude. That is what your bought. lol...funny-ish.

Right? I'm kind of amazed people are buying these and don't know that. I have a 01 SS with alot of work done to it. About 700 hp. It does it. My 2020 SS 1LE does it. It's called power people. Embrace it lol

@@richlewis1673 also to you.. Jealous... I'm too cheap for the ZL1 lol

Damn thats crazy! Fingers crossed that doesn't happen

A8. I believe there is a class action lawsuit against Gm for tc issues. Many call it “shudder “

The windows were so small and visibility so poor, he couldnt fit through the window XD

He's the best!

This is facts, the car is one of the best packages I have ever bought, such a wild ride every day

That damn screen, your right! Gotta save on fuel economy, it's exactly why i bought a V8!
