Hey Everyone,

I posted about 2.5 months ago about a series of issues with a low mileage MS6 (15,000 miles). These problems went on even after addition of short shifter and put in a CAI.

1. Mis-shifts at high revs
2. Sluggish/sticky shifting
3. Cannot shift into first sometimes if clutch fully depressed
4. Minor heat-sink issues
5. Less power than expected

All the issues are finally fixed here what was done (all at dealership)
-- this is what was on the paperwork
1. Transmission flushed @ replaced w/ redline
2. Engine coolant flush & replaced
3. Transfer case & all related seals replaced
4. Engine oil replaced with full synthetic
5. Clutch adjusted & spacers added
6. ECU flashed
-- they noted the major power-loss and massive turbolag was because of the broken transfer case

For shift issues have you tried replacing the rear motor mount or maybe consider adding the front motor mount?

Smoother shifting at higher rpms

Typically they're used to bring a machined flywheel back into spec (machine off .025" of material to "true" it, use a .025" shim to bring it back to spec height).

Maybe his flywheel was out of spec from the factory, or somehow changed due to the new transfer case.

you cant machine the stock dual-mass flywheel
