You're right, HSA is easily disabled.

Not to pick on the 6spd, but anyone else think the shifter could be a little less "rubbery". It is not terrible but you have to admit it could be better.

I replaced the stock shifter in my 2006 Mustang with an MGW shifter to make the shifting more precise. But I also understand it may be a bit early for any alternate shifters for these cars yet.

 

I had an MGW in my Vette, it was the cats **s!

 

The 6 speed Challenger Trak Pack is simply awesome. The smoothness of the shifts and the ease of the clutch pressure is very refined. It makes the Mustang GT 5 speed manual feel extremely primitive.

 

I don't mean to step in anyone's tail here, especially on a Challenger Forum, but I respectfully disagree. I'm not saying that the Challenger shifter is bad for stock, but I don't think it as much better than Mustang's and the Mustang's has been around for a while.

I feel the Stock Mustang GT 5 speed and clutch are comparable in feel to the Challenger 6 speed and clutch. Both stock clutches feel way soft and engagment leaves something to be desired. Both stock shifters feel flimsy, which is why I replaced my Mustang's stock shifter with an MGW. Compared to the MGW, both stock shifters in the Challenger and the Mustang feel like wet noodles, or at least a fresh piece of licorice.

The actual shifting in the Challenger does seem fairly smooth for a tight pattern necessary for 6 gears plus reverse, probably due to the centering springs in the Challengers stock shifter compared to no centering springs in the stock Mustang shifter.

And the Challenger 6 speed trans should feel good, considering it is derived to handle the Viper, Corvette and Shelby GT500 Mustang.

 

most of it goes to the bright pedals

 

As a new owner of a Black R/T Challenger with manual 6 speed and 3.92 with 20 inch wheel's . I love it . Best MPG so far is 22.3 . 2nd gear has to be just right shifting into it. Are they all like that. I went from a 6 speed MX5 GT . So it will take awhile to get the feel . Who makes the shifter for the trans.

 

Second gear is my favorite. The car digs just right even driving around town. I have only seen the skip shift a few times. This is an odd feature that I would like to turn off. The owners manual describes the feature and defines the very narrow range that it will engage. As I am not at all concerned about gas mileage and I try and avoid that area of the envelope.

I installed a skip shift eliminator harness today from Speed Inc. It deactivated the soleniod that locks out shifting to second. While I, too, rarely had the skip shift engage, it is an annoying feature in traffic. With the skip shift eliminator harness, the dash still tells me to skip from 1st to 4th but I can put it in second and ignor the "suggestion" to go directly to 4th. Best $20 spent do far on the car!

 

The manual 6 speeds are dogs, drove one and hated it, bogged down after every shift. The auto stick are smoother and rpm don't drop off like the manuals[&o]

 

Good comeback 09hemi... that should get this thread heated up...
