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

x2 but first look at your cables and inspect them. follow them all the way from your trans to the fire wall and into the cabin to the shifter, if there is any break in the hard plastic be wary for any exposed cable which eventually becomes untwined and loose. look @808's pics to compare. mine did the SAME EXACT THING. BTW... SUCCESS! CABLES ARE IN AND SHIFTS LIKE A CHAMP! thanks guys!!
but if your cables are exposed, inspect closer to see if they are tightly wound around a center cable and yeah... toyota will get you BAD. try to find a used set first... i had to pay 400 for mine. This post has been edited by easternpiro1: Aug 8, 2009 - 3:22 AM -------------------- |
