Transmission trouble Almost everytime I drive the firehawk the transmission does not want to get into second gear. For it to get in second gear i have to move the shifter left to right like 5 times in neutral and it gets in. Not easily. Whats wrong. Does it need a new trans? Or is there something stuck in gear.
besides that, could use a little more info. does it get stuck in the gear? does it ever pop out? grind? Id be looking tword clutch or master first. its possible theres a problem with the strut keys or blocker ring but I think you would have more symptoms. Thread Starter

Really Ima mechanic for like 5 years but I've never seen this. I asked my dad he started the buisness he said that it might need gears. It grinds ALOT when trying to get into other gears, but in second gear its hard to get in to. Should I replace the gears. I wanna put some 4.56 gears in it anyways. Or should I replace the clutch.

Verdad Gallardo sounds like a clutch or hydrolic issue, trans might also need syncroizer hubs replaced along with new blocker rings. If your pulling the trans to replace the clutch I would crack it open and see what it looks like while its out. there not that hard to rebuild. If your a mechanic you will fly thru it easily
