i think this is the dumbest thing ive ever had to fix. ive been having this problem where it is hard to shift into 1st at stops and popping out of gear and. also downshifting into 2nd grinds like crazy. i thought it was the tranny so i put in some syncromesh a few days ago. still had the same problem. today i was taking out my ecu to see if it was an eprom. i also took off the big cover that goes over the shifter. i look down and wtf there is a pair of safey glasses wedged up against the shifter stopping the gears from fully engaging. so i finish putting the ecu back and take it out for a ride, with out the safety glasses. problem solved, it now shifts like new.
oh yeah, im not the one that left the glasses there. it must have been a previous owner. maybe ill sell my shifter mod glasses on ebay.
