-A short shifter was put into my the car but it might of not been installed right (previous owner did a self install) as for some reason i cant shift at a high rpms especially when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. I have to shift under 3500 rpms or the car will be hard to shift to the next gear and sometimes will make a grinding noise however when i ease it into 2nd gear it shifts just fine. The other gears are fine for the most part...

 

Try buying a decent short shifter or OEM piece and replacing it. It may have just been installed incorrectly, or is a piece of crap.

If that doesn't fix it, it may be a clutch or transmission issue. Check the fluid level and bleed the clutch system. I had a lot of grinding problems when my clutch went out, so you might just need a new clutch.

 

thanx, i will try replacing the shifter asap i think the owner put a mugen short shifter in but he said the spacing was different and didnt measure to the older shifter

 

hopefully it is an easy mod i havent changed out a shifter before...

 

It isn't too bad, but you need to get underneath the car. If you search this site, I am sure you can find some instruction on what is involved.

 

dude i have the same problem, when i redline from 1st - 2nd that shit either grinds or gets real hard...my mechanic bleed the clutch...and that was noo good he said its just my clucth slippin so im gonna buy a new one!...im pretty sure the shifter has nothing to do with it
