I installed it about a month ago, and i just got my car back on the road, and when i shift fast through my gears you can feel its not a clean shift, not like when it was the stock shifter. I mean dont get me wrong i like the shorter throw, but what could this be, this is on my 96 Rs, tranny fluid prolly never been changed. Let me know what you guys think.

 

You probably need to get use to the shorter throw. Your shifting is a little faster than your foot's reaction

 

yeah cause when i shift slower, it doesnt do it, only when i shifting quick.......i guess it cant hurt to change the tranny fliud.

 

change fluid.

 

Short shifters can really screw up a tranny if you keep slamming to each gear. The grinding noise is somewhat normal.

 

no it is not your tranny fluid. your problem is that because of the shorter throw, you are shifting gears faster than your left foot can work the clutch. just try to get things in sync a little better and youll be fine

 

thanks, i'll try some new **** out.

 

so faster on the clutch and a little slower on the shifting..........hmmm not used to that but i guess i can make it work, im just worried about ****** my tranny.

 

just pay attn to the replies of these threads and try to have a better understanding of mechanics.....good question though..

 

yeah i guess thats the best i can do, i mean maybe a better explanation is, sloppy engagement.

 

your such a noob. you don't even have a short shifter.

 

ive got a DC short throw and mine grinds too mostly from second to third so its just i need to clutch faster then i am right now and just shift slower? if i read the above posts correctly

 

Yea mine does that too from 2nd to 3rd, just get used to it, nothing is wrong w/anything.
