Factory Hurst Shifter - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

messinwj · 07-23-2013, 09:03 PM

I am new to the forum and after several years of dreaming I finally purchased a 2013 2SS. My Camaro has the factory hurst shifter. Most of the time it is difficult to get into first and second gear. Usually I have to release the clutch to get it into first gear and it is sometimes difficult to shift from 1st to second. Does anyone else have this issue? It usually takes me several attempts to shift into reverse. I have driven manuals for years and never had this issue. Any advice?
