[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1401501, member: 19880"] Seems likely although an air bubble might have a similar effect. At least it points to the clutch rather than a transmission issue. With a clutchless upshift (preloaded shifter), it "pops" into gear when the engine speed matches the output speed. When you use the clutch, you let off the throttle and the engine speed drops so the output speed (which doesn't change much) does not match. This isn't an issue if the engine is fully isolated by the clutch and the transmission should shift smoothly. If it is linking up even a little bit, shifting isn't going to be smooth. You won't know for sure until you take an hour or two and pull the clutch to wet the friction discs with oil. It will be interesting to see if you have the black goo people have reported on some of the discs and steels. Sounds like a two beer job for a rainy Saturday afternoon... While you're at it, do another thorough bleed of the clutch hydraulics; especially if it hasn't been done. Will your dealer help you out on this? Or are you just trying to avoid down time? [/QUOTE]
