Default Trouble getting into 2nd?

Having some trouble just during daily driving shifting into 2nd....
A lot of resistance on the pullback, and a tendancy to want to slip into 4th.

And it seems like I'm only having the problem on a low rpm shift...
If im really on the gas I haven't noticed it happen..


what gives?

Dumb question but I have to ask, Your not talking about "skip shift" right?
What kind of clutch do you have and what type of shifter?

i was always told that if you have this problem that the shifter forks were bent from excessive speed shifting or high rpm down shifts. either way better get it looked at asap

make sure it is not the skip shift actually doing its job- some people still havent taken this off their cars. If thats not it most likely it needs to go in for some new forks.
