The transmission pops out of 1st and goes into neutral. This really bothers me. My Dad says that I did not correctly put the shifter into first. Who is to blame, me or the tranny? Has anyone had a similar problem in their 6-speed Crossfires?
Your dad is wrong, you are right. You've described the problem exactly as I encountered it. Your dealer can fix it with a synchro kit. Takes a day to fix.
