I think my main problem is the Fact that the Clutch is a hell of alot stiffer. Its nice but it gets annoying, plus the shifter isn't as smooth as a contour...

Sweet car awesome power, but sucks in traffic!

Word. Supposedly mine is even stiffer than a normal SHO for some reason. Maybe the clutch cable needs lube. It's so strange driving the cars back to back. The Contour is sooooo much lighter and easier. The Mazda tranny isn't row friendly eaither. Missing 3rd is easy when shifting at redline sometimes.

give you a tip to get that stuff off. A steamer (not those stupid $20 ones from tv - a real high pressure washer with a heater will take it off in about 3 min total time)

I have tried and tried and tried! Next thing to get it off is a Die grinder!!!


I hear ya todd, If you can drive my SHO you can pretty much drive any other manual in the world, My knee kills after driving it.. I used to drive the CSVT to work then my 95 SHO around town in the game day.. it got old since i couldn't get used to one car...

I slow shift to third alot cuase its just wierd its like it doesn't wanna go there. Ive had 3 SHO's and there all the same!

But onces its in Third its CRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZY Fast!
Third gear is definatlly the high selling point of the car...

Now i gotta pin this hood

Good...and while you're there, have them squirt the entire car charcoal metallic to match your hood.
