This is probably going to be for the forced induction guys more than anyone, but here's my issue:
I CANNOT hit a hard shift into 2nd at WOT in the car. Simply put, the tranny refuses to go into 2nd gear, and third gear offers quite a bit of resistance at high throttle inputs also. When driving easily however, it shifts fine into any gear I want it to. Call me crazy but I've always had trouble shifting cable actuated manual transmission under heavy loads. What I think is happening is that my old/weak motor mounts are allowing enough movement in the motor that enough of a shift happens to throw off the sync of the cables to the shifter. What I'm trying to do is get some verification on this. Thoughts? I must have tried 4-5 times last night on the way home from work to bang a high RPM WOT 1-2 shift and it wouldn't happen. -------------------- |

Figured it out. In my Corvette and Trans Am's, I'm used to just "kicking" the clutch pedal. I have the engagement points set very high on those and can bang a powershift with at little as 1/3 pedal movement in each. The celica however, needs to be put all the way down (due to the limited amount of pedal travel in the first place). Let's just say I was screeching the tires on the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts on the way home tonight whilst making buttery smooth shifts. Atco......here I come. November 18th provided weather is agreeable. Will be on vid too. -------------------- |
