    transmission problem hard shifting when warmed up. Any ideas no problems when cold.

    Could the cable problem cause the "crunch" shifting from 1st to 2nd? The same problem does not occur when shifting from 3rd to 2nd.

    Transmission 1-2 Shift Grind

    Shoud I buy a Superformance GT 40 Heritage ??

    A kit car is by definition a car that has some assembly required. Big deal. I love my GT for what it is. I would surely like to have a Superformance to my specs. Some kits are not even kits the way they are designed and sold. My Cobra started as a Factory Five kit. The chassis, suspension...

    Wow, catching up on some posts. Thanks all for the birthday wishes. It's bad when you have so many things to do that you can't take the leisure time to go on line. Still enjoying the GT. I'll never sell it. Still racing, although I have missed a few. Still in contention for some...

    I will be there Saturday and Sunday. Last Radical Cup races for the season. I have a white Radical, #4, if anyone wants to say hi. I think Lee will be there too. His Radical is painted in Gulf colors like the LeMans GT40s. Looks trick.
