Hello,
So I just picked up my new 2013 Boss 302 a few weeks ago....I had to have one....and I am pretty sure I now know what true love really is now. My question, are there any tricks to proper shifting in this car. At slow speeds I get a slight clunk from time to time during shifting or when lifting off the throttle. I was thinking that maybe its just the tolerances and this is normal. (I realize this is a track car and street driving was an after thought at best) If so then I have already found the solution...never lift..pretty easy to do. However, I never have the issue when being aggressive with the throttle, I assume this is due to the fact that i am not unloading the drivetrain. I did drive my buddy's 2012 boss 302 the other day and it has the same clunking. This leads me to believe that A) thats the way it is (I don't mind) B) I need to change my driving style.
I have searched around about the issue and some owners have encountered this. They give suggestions like "buy a one piece drive shaft" or "new shifter" However I have not really seen anyone discuss their driving technique for this car on the street.
My last question is Storage of the Boss. I will be getting deployed in the next few months and will be leaving my boss in the garage for about 7 months... What suggestions do you guys have for extended storage on these cars.
Thanks for any input
