Thanks for the response. I have had the car for 2 days. The first day I found it a little hard to easily find and shift into 4th gear. The second day it was easier. The shifting seemed smoother and easier in just 2 days (it was fine from the start). Of course, I am getting used to the gear box and 6 gears- My BMW only has 5 gears. Also I found out yesterday that I am suppose to depress the clutch before I shift. Oh, by the way, I was just kidding about the clutch!!
