Spec v'ers who are reving to or over 7k, we have a problem

duesMANdella · 2008-10-18 15:04:08

Our synchros in the transmission do not like it one second
I finally got to go to local dragstrip with the 7100k rpm and missed every gear in my only run(lebanon valley is just awful with grip and how its ran)

Any of you other guys having a problem with this, i know nightrider45 said his was harder to get into 2nd, but mine is every gear

What shifter u using??

duesMANdella · 2008-10-18 15:51:04

the stock shifter because i hated having a short shifter on this car

DeshiSpecV · 2008-10-18 15:57:08

my 3rd gear misses sometimes...

textureofreality · 2008-10-18 16:12:56

Honestly the only combination that works is Nismo SS and heavy ass 1 pound TWM knob and BG syncro shift II!! Thats the f**kin secret!! Please don't tell anyone!!

You just told EVERYONE.

textureofreality · 2008-10-18 16:22:59

I have tried 3 different short shifters and the best on is the Nismo SS gen 1 with the linkage arm!! U have to use heavy ass shift knob and BG syncroshift !! I also had alot of shifting problems before like explained!!

It's not the tranny.. We rev the Superspec out to almost 9K, and it doesn't have a problem grinding gears..

donspecv02 · 2008-10-18 19:07:48

I started having problems with third shortly before my clutch disc broke. I have the $12 short shifter, which engages just as good as stock, just shorter. Spending $100 on a short shifter is just crazy, IMO.

I was going to pm you actually asking what you thought it was, i wasnt sure if you used this transmission on charles car or not. Do you think i have bad synchros and never new it? I'm at a loss here

cute02spec · 2008-10-18 22:42:05

My tranny is fine with shifting at 6800-7000 I have no short shifter, too, as I hate them.

your prolly right, im not mad about it, i have a spare transmission anyways, i was just thinking maybe it would have presented a problem for everyone else too, so i figured i would warn them. but since its my transmission then its my suck lol

RedDragonV09 · 2008-10-19 23:19:54

BG syncroshift isnt all its made out to be. I dont like it. I went back to Redline MTL.

username · 2008-10-19 23:23:50

sorry but just figured i had to post

specv trannys =

nightrider45 · 2008-10-20 00:01:36

no more issues with me. it was just me not pressing in the clutch all the way when i was at the track. It's fine now no more grinds

Trav4011 · 2008-10-20 00:05:10

You can adjust the clutch pedal, so that it grabs further up.. There's a screw/set screw (nut).. Just look under the dash, where the clutch master cylinder actuator rod ties into the clutch pedal. You'll see what I'm talking about. Just make sure that you don't set it TOO high.. or you'll wear out your throw out bearing.

No shit I totally forgot about that man. I was just thinking how i dont feel like taking the transmission back out before winter. I never though of doing that, because it deff grabs low close to the floor, and i wasnt having this problem before. This gives me some hope

superspec · 2008-10-21 20:57:27

i cant bang the gears if im shifting at 8500+ but i def dont have any problems

ssd-spec · 2008-10-31 18:41:06

Axxtion 2 Piece with 6800 rpm reve limiter I think I have missed twice but thats just me.

JSpecV03 · 2008-11-08 18:55:46

at over 100k on stock trans, im having no problems at all, but then again, im not revving to 7k. only 6200rpm. its all on how you drive the car. i put mine through hell and it still never disapoints.
