Hey guys, tonight I wemt for a joy ride with my buddy and we were out on a sticky back road launching the car and logging some datamaster runs...

Well after a couple launches we drove around for a half hour and came back to do a few more runs...

This time my first launch i went to go into second and either missed second or it just wouldn't go into gear because I then slowed down and went to go into third but it wouldnt go, it wouldnt go into any gears while the car was running...

I then turned the car off and it went into every gear just fine... so I turned the car back on in neutral and tried to put it in first but i couldnt even force it to go...

I then decided to put it in first with the car off and then start it, but when i turned it over it started to try to actually pull the car.

I just could not get it in gear any other way so i put it in first and gave it gas while starting it and it still pushed it but i got it started.
once it was started in gear and rolling the issue went away and it went through the gears just fine...

What the heck did I do that it wouldnt go into gear?? Also would you continue driving the car since the issue is gone or do I need to pull this tranny out (which I hate doing lol)?

Sounds like you had a clutch non-release issue there.
Could have stuck the disc to the flywheel?
If the pedal felt fine that's the only thing that makes sense on a LT1 pull style clutch set up.

Is there anything I should do about the problem, or what is your reccommendation?

Well if it is fine now I'd drive it. Did you slip the heck out of it when it did this ?
Have a good clutch in there now?

get a good clutch....

It is a two year old 5k mile Spec Stage 3... Pretty damn good clutch, but it is the puck style, is this a common problem with puck sytle clutches?
