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. --------------------  |

My issue was that I wasn't getting the clutch all teh way in. I found that if I concentrated on it I had no problem ripping off a full bore powershift without any issues.

That's a problem. Cheap. Reliable. Fast. Pick two. |

Have you tried to raise the pedal a little so you get some extra throw on the piston??? That might help you out. It might not be disengaging all the way causing it to feel odd as you put it in gear. Does the tach jump when you put it in any of the gears? -------------------- |
