The car seems fine---NO crunchy syncros and I'm shifting all right. But I'm still worried. I occasionally miss a shift and get that rare grind but only because I re-adjusted my seat and I misjudged clutch heigth. Other than that, I've never had a brutal mistake quite like I just had. Anyone want to share the robustness of the RX8 tranny or lack of it? Am I okay?? It seems to be fine. Am I worrying too much? I have no idea why it didn't go into gear.

Other than that, I think I would have had the WRX. I caught up to the guy later and he said he heard my mis-shift.

FYI: I think the RX8 is faster.
