Default Shifting problems on the N20 @ the track

Last night @ the track I sprayed the car @ the track for the first time. The car was not wanting to go into the gears. I have never had this problem nor is it doing it under normal driving. I am baffled, what could be the problem??? The clutch is a Spec Stg. 3, mccloud adj. master. Built tranny.

Sprayed the car on the street today with no problems. Then again, I did not side step the clutch @ 6400 rpm's like I do @ the track.

Spec clutch is the problem. Trust me on that one, I didn't even get to spray mine. The e.t. streets pretty much polished it off for me.

Mine had a hard time shifting on nitrous as well but it was in need of a rebuild. you probably were not getting a good clutch disengagement especially if the tranny is new.
