trouble shifting in and out of gear
so I drove her for the first time today damnnnnnnnn is it hard to shift into gear... the previous owner sais its not a stock tranny and the gear ratios are set up for the track... how do I go about making it a bit easier to shift without changing the tranny?
thanks,
Pat

if your car was sitting for awhile it might just need to be driven. I had my car for 8 months before i drove it and the first couple days it shifted really hard and then eventually smoothed out (its an AOD)

RE: trouble shifting in and out of gear
if its a stick...see if it has an adjustable clutch cable? you can look underneith the car and its basically on the bottom of the tranny you will see the cable. if its ajustable... tighten it. whats probably happening is the clutch isnt disengaging all the way when you go to shift gears. and you shouldnt have to put the clutch pedal all the way to the floor. if you are and its not going in smoothly you need to have the clutch adjusted. or doit yourself. goodluck

RE: trouble shifting in and out of gear
ya I bet this is exactally why because even when I floor the clutch while engaged in 1st gear, if my foot isnt on the break then I will start to roll about 2 or 3 mph... I will check it out asap...
thanks guys,
