Default 2nd gear slipping

alright well I kinda want to check to see if its the tranny or the clutch. and to see if anyone has any experience they want to share.

so 1st gear is fine it whines alittle but shifts okay. but second gear will slip out at low rpms at random. also if I hit a bump it will pop out if I am at low rmps. its a competition stage 4 clutch. with an LS tranny.

reason I ask is b/c I am most likely going to get a gsr tranny but before I do I want to make sure the clutch is okay.

Sounds like your mainshaft bearing and/or a bad 2nd gear syncro.

Sounds like a syncro issue. I would check that before driving hard, otherwise you might just lose a perfectly good clutch if it dies.
