I came up with nothing when searching for " notchy short shifter ", even in the archives. If you find links, please let me know.

I installed a DC Sports ss a few years ago, and im just beginning to get sick of the problem it's giving me. It's very notchy when going in/out of gears, mainly 1st-2nd. I can't even shift fast because it won't go into gear if I do. The bolt connecting the linkage to the ss is not too tight; if anything it's too loose. What could be the problem? I figure grease would help the situation, but the notchiness can't be due to just the grease....

My friend has a skunk 2 and it's smooth as butter. I don't want to shell out $90 for another SS though. I was contemplating getting an Ebay shifter, but have no idea of their quality, and if it would be better than my current DC Sports.

Any input? TIA

 

try changing your tranny fluid

 

Already did.

 

bump

 

did u check if it is hitting the exhaust?

 

how are your bushings holding up?

 

I have the same problem with a dual bend b&m, changed fluid, and checked everything else and its all fine

 

i have the same shifter and mine gets kinda notchy too sometimes in 1st, but it isnt as bad as what you are describing.
