Does the shifter accidently go into 2nd from 3rd instead of 3rd into 4th. Sometimes when i redline gears and im in 3rd tryng to go into 4th like it wont go in smoothly. Last time i went straight down and some how i went into 2nd, and i almost blew the engine cuz i was at redline 3rd and i pushed the clutch back in clickly before blowing it. | | | | | 12-02-2006, 12:34 AM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Lincoln Park Capitol Hill, Washington DC Posts: 741 |

Shift lever not going directly into gear can be other problems.
A shift lever is not going to fix that.
Broken bushing.
In my case, I have a weak or broken dent spring. __________________ ...steven

I like a SSK because it's more comfortable. You would probably gain more by rev matching and not using the clutch at all. __________________ ...steven
