lost 3rd and 4th gear any ideas?
got the car out of storage last Saturday and lost 3 and 4 on the way home.
Ran great all last season, it was rebuilt last spring.
Dont think its dirt in a valve because it went into 3 and 4 earlier on the drive home.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks
Josh

If you go to nothing "neutral feel" You have lost the 3-4 clutch set.

I now have a Level 2 w/PT4000 and no complaints here.

Then the unfortunate reality is that the 3/4 clutches have failed or there is a significant hydraulic leak due to it sitting up. I doubt the hydraulic issue though.
Either way it is internal and needs to be removed and disassembled for inspection, rebuilt or replaced.
Good luck with the repairs... holler at me if you would like to explore some options.

Sounds like the clutch pack is burnt. Did you just have it rebuilt OEM or did you buy a street/strip upgrade?
...and where in Ohio are you? This sounds exactly like what happened to my tranny last year...luckily I'm close enough to Rossler to have been able to drive it over for an upgrade so that I didn't have to screw with shipping it.

When it was rebuilt i just got a TCI kit and had a tranny guy install it.
I was only expecting to limp it along for a while.
Im not suprised just suckes it happened the first day the car came out.
