2nd Gear, When racing 2nd gear is jacked Options

[Striking4]

Ok, here is the deal. When I am driving around normally with fairly low rpms 2nd gear just slides into place like all the other ones. But, when I am racing and have the rpms pegged I got to throw it into second and it feels like it catches on something. It almost wants to grind for a second and then it will fall into gear. What the ****!! Any opinions on what this might be?

I think it sounds like it might be your second gear synchro acting up. It only does this when you're shifting really quickly?

I would try to push in the clutch once and then let off the press it again then shift.

Mine does this also but when shifting into third and yes it usually only does it when i drive hard but sometimes it still does it when im just driving normal

[Striking4]

I will try the double shifting. I hate doing it though cus it take so long. Anyway, is this something that I can take in and have fixed or just something I have to deal with?

If it is the synchros which is fdoes sound like yeah you can take it to be repaired/replaced. any tranny shop should be able to do it

I have the same thing on a smaller scale. Going into third really fast I can occasionally crunch it by having the stick to far to the left when pushing it up. For me I think this is because my car is RHD, and I am pushing the stick too far over with my left arm, and it happens more when I am pushing the car through right hand corners fast. So the whole inertia thing.

Anyways I'm rambling like an old man, which side do you crunch it on? the right?

Same proble here It is 2 gear sinchro going down... I have the same proble then i race... BUT i usualy do this cuz my shifter is so short that my hand puls gear faster then my foot pushes cluch Then i race i always think: First push the Cluch and then pull the gear But somtimes it hapens so fast that i dont even care about the HUGE GRRRRRRRRR sound

Ok, I tried double shifting and it still does it. I am going to take it in tomorrow cus I hate it so bad, and when I am racing next to someone they probably think I am grinding my gears like some am.
