I think mine has only hard started 2 or 3 times since I bought it new, I have no idea why the 6spds had/have a hard start issue.

Mine rarely ever hard starts (knock on wood). Maybe a couple of times in the year that ive owned it.

If i wait a second and try to push it in again, it acts normal. This tends to happen only in 4th or higher gear when i am hard in the go go pedal. Anybody have any insight? Mods are basically as listed below, superchips is in tow, and firefly is off. IS this a sign my clutch is going out or is something else amiss? i would love an excuse to put in a SB cltuch, but i dont want it to fail on me while i am short on cash.

I had the same problem with the stock clutch in my 99. When towing heavy up hill in high gear, foot to the floor, the clutch would take a few minutes to cool down before it would get its full travel back. Very difficult to get it out of gear. Not long after the clutch disk springs flew out and the clutch self destructed.

My 06, on the other hand, has been wonderful, lots of towing with the BDDL on performance and 35's.

Also, my long start problem dissapeared after I cut the wires to the clutch pedal start switch............co-inky -dinky? Who knows!
