Re: possible tranny problem
Sounds like a synchro is either going out or is already shot, might want to look into fixing it.

If your trying to shift too fast and your not used to it, it will do it. When I first got mine, I would try to speed shift and it would pop out of third or make grind. Once you get it down you shouldn't have a problem. A short throw might help.
If this happens while shifting normally, its probably the trans. And welcome to the forums!!!

Isn't there a skip shift in some of those cars? It's to keep you from accelerating too fast. Summit Racing sells skip-shift eliminators that plug into your existing harness to get rid of skip-shift.
P.S. If the skip-shift is just for automatics, forget everything I said.

Re: possible tranny problem
the skip shift is actually just for manuals, what it does is under low acceleration it makes you shift from first gear into fourth gear, this improoves fuel economy. However i dont know if it would apply to the second to third shift, although it may have something to do with it, i dont know alot about transmissions.

Re: possible tranny problem
ZZ, I'm having xmission woes too. Similar to you sounds like, pops out of second, grinds fourth. Although we've narrowed it down to me basically needing an entire xmission.
If you find out what's wrong with yours, let me know. I'll do the same.
