Anyone Experience this??, Manual Tranny Shifting Problem Options

[Fastbird]

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.

To coomers input and fastbird, our clutch throw adjusts to the user because of the hydraulics. when i first got my 98, the disengage point was as the bottom, and after a few short months of owning it, the disengage point is with-in a 1-1.5 inch depress.

And oh yeah, about the somewhat trouble with clutch at the right time with a powershift.....shift quicker

its adjustable on the pedal itself, 2 nuts i think? probably should check/adjust them couple times a year
