Grinding & missing 3rd!
Last night while racing @ atco, I notice that my car is really hard to shift from 2nd into 3rd and its now grinding into 3rd (when racing). I really hope I didn't F my tranny up. I have a B & M shifter that I'll be installing soon. I also came across this : http://www.cheperformance.com/CartGenie/prod-208.htm
Just wondering if anyone has ever used one or any advice would be appreciative?

The exact same thing happened to me. Went to the track and could not shift into 3rd gear.. Then it started grinding going into third. Found out it was my syncros, which translates into getting a new transmission. My tranny lasted for about 6 mths before if totally went out.

yup, same thing here when I went to the track, unless I shifted slow 3rd gear was a PITA. I already had the hurst shifter and it still hung up.
a member on here suggested adding the CHE K-member brace with the limiters and that made everything perfect, haven't missed a shift since!

Another victim of missing 3rd at the track. Out of 7 runs I missed 3rd three times. I am not sure if the heat had anything to do with it, but when the weather was cooler I did a little spirited driving on the street to test the 2nd to 3rd shift and there was no problem. This Monday, I will order a CHE K-member with a torque limiter. And Wed I am having new clutch and flywheel installed.

I didn't notice the problem until I went to the track and was trying to shift as quick as possible. basically when the motor is twisted from the torque your shifter isn't aligned anymore and you get hung up in the gate. the limiters fix that.
like ShaneM said if it's a problem during normal driving too then it's a bigger problem than the limiters could fix.

Only when I race or WOT does 3rd give me problems. Driving around town, the car shifts fine. I also notice their two different type of K-members, one being a "competition" k-member.
I suppose I will order these and pray it fixes my issue.
