a little tranny annoyance fixed now
my tranny is a TKO with a centerforceII clutch been in there for 5yrs now.
well my annoyance is my 2nd to 3rd shift under very heavy load(race) i get a high pitch noise..when this happens i slow down and hammer it even harder,and don't get it..
it never does it in normal/moderate driving...i know centerforce has a tendancy of crapp'n out.
i do have a pro 5.0 never really adjusted my stops.
first thing i thought was was synchro's...so i had my wife drive it,and it never did it once,but as soon as i drive it.it does it again!..so i moved up the seat so my arm is right above my shifter,and now it doesn't do it.now my knees are on the steering wheel.
well i rambled enough it's probably me,but it makes me wonder.

RE: a little tranny annoyance
i have the 3550. it doesnt do that to my knowledge, i have the center 2 also. triax shifter. but i really cant tell you for sure cause i cant even hit 3rd in mine because it dont shift for sheit. 
im gonna get it checked out because its been like this since i got it. i think im supposed to use the fox style clutch fork. but what kind of noise? like a squeak?
