    Transmission issue

    When im driving my car normally (m50 backed up by a g260) it goes into every gear just fine, but when im flooring it and shifting right before the limiter i really have to force it into gear, and sometimes it wont go in and if it does it grinds like a mofo. I have hs drags on friday so im trying to figure it out by then. I have yet to check my tranny fluid level. Any suggestions?

    Thanks guys,
    Jesse

    Use a friction modifier and if that doesn't help then your syncros are shot in the tranny,

    Dont forget why they double clutch!

    Give it a try and also think your gears are hauling ass when you are about to shift gears so let them have a second to slow down before tying to mesh the gears together or it will go boom if you drop clutch at the wrong time.

      Excuse my stupidity, but wtf is a friction modifier? I dont really drop gears when i slow down i just put it in neutral and coast to a stop, the only time i beat on it is when im accelerating hard

        Nevermind on the friction modifier i just got smart and googled it. So you just add it to your fluid?

          A change in fluid might hep, but my guess is that only a rebuild or replacement of the transmission is going to fix the problem.
          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
