Is it my stock clutch? Is it my transmission?
It’s getting warmer here in WA. Today was 76°f. The car absolutely hated shifting. Anything over 5k rpm locked me out of 3rd gear. 2nd and 3rd gear felt like they were on the verge of blowing up. Doing a pull from 2nd and it locks me out of 3rd and all you hear is grinding noises and the car bouncing off the rev limiter.
High rpms in 2nd and 3rd gear vibrate the shifter like crazy! It feels super rough to shift into 3rd. 1st, 4th,5th, and 6th are fine.
So what’s the deal? What doesn’t like the heat, the clutch or the transmission? Will a chassis mounted shifter bracket fix this problem?
Also, don’t get me started on the rev hang in every gear past 5k rpm. This car is becoming an inconvenience to drive spiritedly.
