RE: [ST] Shifting problems

["Big Riff" <big_riff@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had the same problem on my 01 ST, right up until 1300 miles - at which 
time the clunk and difficulty almost completely went away.   Also, I found 
that preloading the shift lever and using a lighter pull on the clutch makes 
shifting the ST much smoother in general.  Most of the listers here have had 
similar experiences.
