when I first picked my 98.5 up, Igot in, and started to drive away.. well
The SVT does have a nice pick up.. It isn't like I don't know how to drive an MTX, but I difinitely wasn't used to that engine/clutch, etc.. for the first little while I did a sort of "mini-hop" when begining to take off, or going from 1-2... (as if I were pressing the gas pedal hard, and fast, over and over.. (i.e. small froggy-hop) You get used to it...
as for the grind... my only advice.. give it some time, and another ceg'r can tell you more..
BTW: welcome to the group
