I have ridden with the former owner and he didn't seem to have a problem, but he also never shifted very hard into second. He said he did not have them problem I'm having, but I don't know that I should trust everything someone selling me something says. I hope I am the problem and not the car, I can adjust and it's much cheaper if I am the problem!

Try, what even helped me with the brandnew Tremec 6060

first give the trans time to warm up, needs more time between shifts when the car is cold, really step from the gas and hit the clutch, like slow motion, put the next gear in, then release the clutch and then step on the gas. Be just smooth, if the gear will not go in the speed is the problem, donīt force it, let the car go slower and try again, if it slips in is good. Do this for the first time and go smooth that the trans get used to your shifting habits. I mean with a car of 42k miles you should expect its driven in but if you had an .... "shiftidiot before you" you don't know.

If that works easy for you, try on country roads and drive that baby in, downshifts, upshifts, break with the engine too thatīs breaking in the synchro rings too. If you do that for quite a time that Manual should go as you go! Or really somebody f...ed up before you.

My one goes so smooth right know and just slips in, fantastic.

I know too some SS have problems (Tremec 6060 with the 2nd gear) but I canīt imagine after 42k miles that's still present or the pre owner didnīt do sh.. .about it

Just try to get the car used to your driving style, you never know how it was driven before.

also if its not already done, put a clutch reservoir on it and change the clutch fluid... might help you get faster and more complete clutch releases.

It has a reservoir, but new fluid is probably a good idea

Can be even that if the trans oil was never changed from bad shifting there is more than one little residue of metal chips in there that will be bad.
