Ok, Third gear only hesitate for 1 sec or 2 when I race or do a quick shift and that leads me to losing a race. It feels like there's an safety lock that wouldn't let me go pass it within the first sec or two from a quick shift(2nd to 3rd gear). Other than that, if i drive normal, it goes in fine.

Before I did my F22B1 Swap, It shifted fine with no hesitation at all.

Tranny right now has around 300K or so since it is still the very first tranny that came with the car. It does not grind, make noise, or pop out of gears at all. I've already flushed out the fluids, so fluids are new. Clutch resevoir is full and properly bled. New clutch, and flywheel. flywheel bolts are tq down to 79lbs with loc-tite, and clutch pressure plate is bolted downt o 19lbs.

Any help is appreciated!

 

You should re-check the clutch.

 

yeah, that too but i hate tearing it back apart. sucks azz. i'll check it if there's noise coming from the clutch area but there's none, so i'll skip that part.

I'll have to go ahead and replace my clutch slave cyl since it's sorta leaking too. See if that'll cure the problem.

I forgot to mention that water was sittin my tranny along with the old fluid for half a month. But i flushed out the tranny 4-5 times though.
