I've had no luck getting this car to engage 4th gear at any rpm higher then 7000.
I was wondering if any one else has had similar rpm related problems?

I have tried several trans setups, master cylinders, slave cylinders,syncros, gears. I let a buddy take the car for a pass just to make sure it wasnt me as a driver, and we had the same results. I am currently running a twin disc, and the clutch is the last part I have not changed.

Any ideas or suggestions? Jared

I would start with the clutch...

I smashed a pilot bearing and the clutch would go in at low rpm but would shift when i tried to push it ....Mis-shift city

check the linkage to see if it is bent....

 

adjust the pedal ?

he has already replaced the linkage with a brand new one

ive offered to take a look but i havent seen it yet.

thanks man, Jared need all the luck he can get with these trans. he been through alot already, nothing but problems/broken parts. hopefully something will come together by this weekend. if not, i guess we'll be fixin it at the track

 

What syncros are you running ?? and I would adjust the peddel , and then if that dont work time to pull the trans and take it apart , might have bent forks or the syncros are just to worn out , even the slide could be bad , but you can save them with a small file to get you by , just cus they cost some money ,

 

he has tried a couple diff trans all looked good except for the first quafie one.we have tried diff shift forks,and sliders and still cant get 4th.got a fresh b16 trans was clean inside only change was the quafie dif and the 4.9 final,sent the comp clutch twin disc back and they shaved the discs down they said they were too thick.and still the same problem.think we are goin to try puttin a single disc back in to see if thats works

 

I had the clutch overnighted, it came in this morning. I'm gonna pull the trans and swap clutches tonight and then back to Atco Friday. I would love to make a solid full pass this weekend at NOPI

 

i hear ya man i am going through some of this **** now, but worse thing is you have to take it down the track for it to happen

 

this happened to me the linkage was bent, $200 and the car ran great

 

so this started happening after you put in the twin disc ???

 

This is the second set of new linkage I have tried, The twin disc is the only clutch I have ran in this car.
