A 1st to 2nd grind question.
I have a 2010 v6 manual. I never had a problem with shifting from 1st to 2nd at high RPM's with a stock shifter. Like close to redline while drag racing. After I installed the Hust short shifter, it grinds like crazy if i shift fast at high RPM's. It's fine at low RPM's though.
This leaves me to believe that the short shifter is the reason? Basically I want to know if I take it to the dealer, if they can blame the Hurst? Thanks.

I don't think it is your shifter, per se. But it is an effect of the shorter throw. I think with the long disengagement of the clutch on this car, you (and myself and others) are beating the clutch disengagement. I have had the grinding issue, but if I am very mindful of being sure my foot gets to the floor before throwing it into second, it happens much less.
With your new shifter, I imagine you are getting there too quick. Try hesitating with the shift and be sure you get the clutch all the way to the floor before shifting. Chris.... |
