Hey all,
I have a 98' gt with approx 126k miles which I purchased about 2 months ago. Shifting seems to be pretty inconsistent. By that I mean, it doesn't like to go into gear much of the time and or likes to grriiiind. Up-shifting from 1st to 2nd will grind and or requires a lot of force to get into gear. Downshifting from 3rd to 2nd likes to grind also, and or doesn't fully go into gear. Sometimes it feels like I get locked out of 3rd completely when I'm driving and also does this when I try shifting to 1st at a red light. Overall, the shifting just feels like it requires an exceptional amount of force and isn' t very smooth. The car has an SR performance short throw shifter along with a firewall clutch adjuster kit that the previous owner installed, but I'm not sure exactly how to use it, or why and when I should... Could adjusting the cable be a solution to my problem? I plan on getting into open track/autocross this summer but with how inconsistent it is... I'm not going to do very well lol.
