Just have to be alittle more aggressive shifting in the 6 speed, I love mine.
From a stand I still prefer starting in 1st, but shift into 2nd no more than 3500 rpm.
3000 to 3500 is a sweet spot in mine and catches a good Power band in 2nd gear.
I still much rather have a XFIRE with this 6 spd than a auto.
Just need to be more aggressive shifting with this transmission.
