The selecting mech is cables and I’m impressed how good the shift is.
I used to own an 80’s Alfa Alfetta GTV and the shift on rods was beyond excreta. They went from the sweet Giulia front 'box to a transaxle and down the tubes the whole concept went.
Anyway I digress. The shift on my Exige is very sweet however selecting first to pull away is a bit notchy. Could the cables be a bit out of adjustment east/west? I would have thought it would have dropped in. I doubt the 1300rpm idle makes any difference here likewise dabbing 2nd makes no difference.
It’s not a big deal but I’m in interested in what other cars are like. Warmed up I think it’s a bit better but not a lot in it. Modern oils etc should mean on a modern car the shift is the same cold or warm.
(The Austin Maxi’s shift cables were so poor that a new car that left the showroom was unable to select gears by the time the punter in his new heap got home! but I concede it was the genesis of the concept if fatally flawed)
