background: 06 mustang gt, i have the Hurst Comp. shifter. has always been notchy and hard to get into gears sometimes. but i manage with it. on the street, even when im gettin on it, its fine. i can launch it on the street, and slam 2nd and 3rd no problem at all.......however:
i've finally started goin to the track again, and everytime i take it down the track, it doesnt wanna go into 2nd. 2 of the runs today it was at the point where i completely took my foot off throttle, and had the clutch all the way to the floor and it wouldnt go into 2nd gear. like it was locked out. finally beasted the shit out of it into 2nd
curious why its only acting up at the track. im lost. and its pissin me off, cuz im cutting 1.8 60 fts on a street tire but cant get a keeper time out of the car because the damn thing wont go into 2nd gear easy
i have zero problems on the street, where i dont hook. checked shifter, its installed correctly. its only at the track. now here's what im thinking, and a large part of it is because of what a friend of mine who rebuilds tranmissions was tellin me:
at the track i hook up hard on launch, which backloads the drivetrain and is causingmy clutch to not work properly. he was tellin me he's seen the exat same situation in a couple trans am's (also with hydraulic clutch), and replacing it solved everything
on the street, i LOVE my shifter. but at the track with these problems it makes me want to rip it out of the car and throw it away.the car has almost 66k on the stock clutch. and i dont drive like a grandma. so i figure for not TOO much more than the cost of the shifter, i could pick up a new clutch (spec please).
does this make sense?
