    I love the gated manual but I occasionally have issues with quick and smooth shifting from 1st to 2nd and 3rd to 4th. I know Hill Engineering makes a gate that is supposed to make shifting much smoother and easier. Has anyone tried it, and if so, does it make a difference?

    For me, the speed of shift has never been limited by the gate, but by the gearbox itself. My Testarossa most definitely isn't a sports car, its a tourer, and fast shifts across the gate have never been possible and if I were to try, which I did at the beginning, the results would not be good! First to second, on mine, is a no for 30 mins of driving and never above 3,000 revs on load. My 308 is entirely different and is a sports car. Anything goes with that and its the same gate. Testarossa's are amazing cars, but they need to be driven their way, not yours. Enjoy it for what it is, an absolute '80's icon.
