Normal shifting sure it shifts just fine. It still is notchy feeling for a lack of a better word from 1st to second.
Yeah, the guys with the manual 2005+ V6 Stangs ran into the same issue, under a heavy load simply couldn't shift into 3rd... now tack on some FI and it really became an issue... so guys were swapping their crappy T5s out for TR6060s...

And even if you could power shift, wonder how long it would take to explode that stock tranny... ????

So... will you be the first with an SS manual in a V6? Sounds like a fun winter project... I'll take pictures!
