First off I use my 2010 lnf as a daily driver, don't race it and certainly don't NLS. About 3 months ago I was getting onto the freeway and I was wot in 2nd and when I shifted to 3rd it popped and I had nothing. I pulled my shifter console apart and the linkage that connects on the right side of the shifter had broken off. So I had to order in a whole new shift kit and housing. Now 3 months later my shifting is getting more and more ruff and if I'm wot in 2nd and try to go 3rd it like wont go in, I have to let of the pedal and then push it in, and I'm always worried it is going to pop again because it is so forced. So I guess I don't know what to do? Is it linkage problems, clutch, trans? Any advice is appreciated, btw only have 41k miles on it

 

Bump...

 

Your throw out bearing/slave is dying.
When you push the clutch the TOB is not fully extending to engage the clutch.

 

Do you have a cable clamp? Those prevent the disconnect problem on 2/3 shifts.

 

Sorry not familiar with that, everything is stock, when it popped the first time it broke off on the shifter ball on the right side where the linkage attaches, how/where do I get the cable clamp?

 

Clamp linked below.

Easy test to see if your clutch hydraulic system is failing.

When not moving can you shift in and out of gears with no effort?

If you have to push harder than normal that means your clutch isn't disengaging all the way and that will certainly cause shifting issues when driving.

This clamp or one similar to it will solve the cable popping off the shift lever problem.

I just noticed an issue with my shifter today. When i take it out of gear normally its springs back to the middle now it just stays to the left if for example i take it out of 1st to neutral. Also notice its very hsrd to push to the right like to shift into 5th.
Any ideas?
