mods? short shifter? how many miles on clutch? where does the clutch start to grab? is it only when shifting fast or is it hard to put it in gear all the time?

i would have to say definately tranny, especially if its 2nd and 3rd.. those always start grinding first.. if you take it easy most of the time it could still hold up for a while those... short shifter helps this not happen especially since you dont have any mods so your not pushing a bunch of power.. it helps from over shifting when racing.. people shift too hard and fast. most short shifters if not all like the pro 5.0 have power stop in them that you adjust right to the point when the shifter goes into gear but the but you adjust (power stop) keps you from over shifting and damaging the tranny
