Ever since I had my car pullied, I have found it difficult to smoothly shift into 3rd gear from 2nd at any RPM's above 3000. It's not that the transmission won't shift, I just can't seem to do it smoothly anymore with the extra power the engine is making.
Whenever I shift and re-engage the clutch, I get a huge "bang" which isn't good and sounds like it will eventually break something. To me it seems that the RPM's are dropping too fast when I shift which is putting a strain on the drive train when the clutch finally grabs.
Any thoughts on how I can avoid this? I've become afraid to get on it in fear that I'm going to grenade the transmission, so I drive like a granny.
Should I not take my foot off the gas when shifting at RPM's above 3K? Maybe keep the throttle open a little?
Suggestions?
