Is my tranny going?

Post by TurboLegacy »

when i first got my car, the shifting was smooth and easy, now, it the tranny wont let me shift fast anymore. i have to wait a half a second before it will let me go into 2nd. Is there anything i can do to cure this? it only does it from 1st to 2nd. bushings or forks?

Shifting got a lot easier for me when I put Redline MT-90 in the gearbox. Search for some posts I made about it for details, but it's not really recommended for our cars but it's working for me for now.

Sounds like synchros or worn shift bushings.
