It seem like my car loves this heat, it is so smooth, from engine to tranny.
What a time to have an S

 

Glad to hear it! Mine hates this heat. Bogging everywhere...

 

Mine is bogging every where as well. Definitely not happy with the air conditioning turned on.

 

Must be that snorkel.

 

I have noticed a real tendency to grind from first to second in the heat. I have to conciously mat the clutch and shift slowly to avoid a nasty grind, especially if I near 6k rpm. Not something I like to hear at all.

 

Bobby, it may be time to change that clutch fluid and do a slight adjustment on the clutch pedal rod. Also, a tranny fluid change may be helpful. Failing this, it sounds like perhaps your 2nd gear syncro may be wearing out. This "should" be a warraty fix.
