Hello all!!

Just got my Black SRT-10 yesterday. Traded in a 2003 Hemi for it and am I ever impressed.

I am struggling a little with the shifts but I think with time it should come together. Hav'nt drivin a manual for some time. Driving at a normal pace I have no problems but when I've jumped on it I have missed a few shifts with some embarrasment.

Anybody got any tips!!

Drag race from every light. You just need practice.

Missed Shifts

Marc,

Seat time is the cure. Relax and enjoy the truck. You'll get a little smoother each time. Pretty soon you'll be holding it longer in each gear and then you'll want to crack off a few quick shifts from 1-2 and 2-3. Once you're comfortable with the quick shifts your shifting problems will go away.

I have the most dificulty with 4-5 and 5-6 because I don't do those shifts as often around town. It's like riding a bicycle, the skill will come right back.

Congrats on the new truck. Another Ram SRT-10 hits the streets of J-Ville!
I've sent you a PM with my phone number.
