Hey guys,

I noticed in the transmission fluid thread that a lot of people see to feel shifting from 2nd to 3rd is a little rough. Is this just a general characteristic of a stock ITR transmission?

Thanks!

 

From my experience I'd say so, but what do you mean by rough? For my R, if I shift from 2nd to 3rd in a high RPM without letting it go in slow and easy, it'll grind.

 

Ditto

 

Mines the same way, always has been, but it's worse now with 600 hp

 

Hmm, I don't have any of these issues. Sounds like your syncro's are too worn or your shifting isn't very good. The Syncro's purpose is to speed up or slow down the mainshaft to match the countershafts speed. If the syncro's are worn they can't do this quickly, or you're are not matching your re-engagement point good enough when the rpm's drop.

How many miles do you have on your tranny?

 

ive never experienced this issue. my 2nd to 3rd shift feels as smooth as butter like all the other gears. even under high rpm.

 

About 50-60k.

 

hmm...?? i have never had a problems with 2nd to 3nd in my ITR, even in high rpms. GL with your tranny

 

Same here, and i got 49k on mine. Only had it for 8 months though.

 

117k here and tranny shifts perfect at any rpm's

 

I had this issue with my first ITR but this latest one I own is very smooth. I think it's a result of overzealous driving. If you're concerned just leave it neutral for a split second before you engage third.
