about two weeks ago, my car started having difficulty on the 1 to 2 shift... basically i have to pull the shifter as far into 2nd as possible and hold it there until it grabs... it also will not shift to 2nd at all above 5 grand.. i put the car into the gear but it doesnt grab. so far all the other gears seem normal... i also get an occasional grind downshifting 5-4...i am tuned and all that fun stuff so dont tell me thats why, i want to know WHAT the problem is... a clutch is in the near future.. within a month..
at first i thought it could be the clutch rod but it doesnt seem to be bent from an inside inspection. ive also adjusted the cables for about 20 hours,,, so its either a bent fork, bad synchro, or clutch.. but has anyone had similiar issues or interested in throwing ideas at me.. thanks
sorry for the extended post...

 

im gonna bet its a bad synchro

 

i second the synchro

 

must say the same, not guaranteeing though. But the similar issues happened to my jeep and it had a bad synchro

 

Bump

 

Why don't you take it to Nick (countrySS) at JBA??

 

That's a good idea... I mainly just don't even want to know if it is the synchros lol

 

Sounds like what my car did until it made a nasty clunk and grind then no longer liked 2nd gear. +1 for CountrySS. Dude is good mechanically and helps people out

 

And btw orderedthe clutch this morning and ky only has 1 more lnf clutch left until may he said

 

but we know how you drive Nick I'm surprised yours isn't like Oscars and going through Transmissions.

 

I drive hard, but well lol. Oscar drives hard :p

 

Get it checked out now. I'm guessing bad synchro as well. Usually if it's something like a linkage, it does it in more than one gear.

 

lmao I know, Breaking Transmissions and still running at the track isn't too good. You should open up a driving school just for Oscar or send him to one.

 

So did you get a new tranny nick or what
