It seems as though both transmissions are about the same and I've heard a lot about the 2nd gear grind, I have a 97 cobra and at 33000 miles ONLY AROUND 6000 RPM it will grind if you granny shift or throw it in 2nd gear. At low RPMs it will not grind at all. Everyone says to change to Redline or Royal Purple synthetic and it stops this problem and everything seems smoother and quiter. I am about to change my shifter and rearend gears and I am gonna put Royal Purple in it and see how it does.
