Default I would like you all to welcome me to f'ed up trans crew

I took the car out (to the local legal race track ) for a few run ins with a couple friends. Despite the cars hard shifting I can normally granny my way through all the gears. Well on low boost I could anyway... I ran a couple runs and the car hauled ass when it hooked 1st and second but it wouldn't let me get into 3rd at all. By the time i got into 3rd I had to chase down a 3 car lead. I tried 3 runs before giving up. On the way home every 3rd gear shift Grind! Crunch! :

pwerks

its 300


id suggest a new TOB fork and a billet shift selector while youre in there too...

i just broke my shift selector over the weekend. getting towed home FTL!

and a TOB fork is made out of brass so it wears quickly and is part of the cause of popping out of gear.

tob fork is like 125. billet selector is 130.

The damn worn tob fork is devils advocate and the reason for all this madness.
