Racing my buddies cobra last night(on the track of course) power shifted into second no problem started to pull on him powershifted third and thought I missed it looked down it was in third.except it was like it was in neutral and didnt want to come out of third. Got it out went back in worked fine. We went again same thing! Got it out and it worked fine again. Got on it today powershifted fine.

It's all how you shift 'em. I just got my car out of the shop. Turns out I broke the shift fork, now I have a steel one. Back on topic; I would start with the master and do the tranny too. You won't know until the tranny has been disassembled.

It is possible to find a mystry gate between 2nd and 3rd. The linkage seems to lock up but selects no gear even though the stick is towards 3rd.This happens with a certain style of shifting . afaor those whe get it, it seems to happen frequently. An aftermarket shifter with a higher neutral-biasing spring load can help with this.
