Hey Dream,

I drive an '09 LB w/ the 5-spd manual and I manage to stall the engine once in a while, probably once every couple of weeks. Most of the time it's in a drive-thru line or when I forget to down-shift far enough for a turn.

My biggest problem so far has been grinding from 1st to 2nd when I try to hotdog.

Just my $ .02,

S.R.

I will agree the hydraulic clutch sucks - the trans is OK. More of a shift timing issue due to the clutch engaging too close to the floorboard.

Redline MT-90 cured my shifting into 2nd grind.

My '85 Harley's clunky shifts improved a lot with Redline transmission oil.
