    Hello all.

    I just bought a 2019 Scat widebody challenger with 34000 miles. The car runs and looks immaculate. It is a 6-speed manual. Some yt vids state the shifting is a bit hard and sloppy in these cars. I have noticed that when shifting it is not that smooth. It feels like i get push back a bit when shifting as if its going through some notches before going into any gear. Its wierd trying to explain it but it is not smooth. Is it supposed to be smooth? a bit of hardness or sloppyness is that normal? I just want to make sure. I know many manuals are built differently.

    Any advice would be great.

    Just to be clear. It shifts no problem it's just not smooth.

    Throws are heavy and really have to push it in into gear.

    It's a used car, what do you think happens to most of these scat packs & hell cats.

    My 2013 6spd was same way. I done away with the clutch delay thing and it was better. I also bypassed the skip shift feature.

    Clutch delay? What is that? What years had this?
