SERIOUS Tranny Problem! HELP!!!
Ok first off, I have a Pro 5.0 Shifter installed by Don Lee Auto (very reputable place in Ranco in Cali - I even asked em to use loctite on the bolts) in case that may be the problem. I was down at the track tonight racing with some local Goats - 1st run I was almost killed by the dragster in the lane next to me... he lost control and came WAY into my lane on 2 wheels. Anyways - 2nd run, I spin and miss 2nd (no grinding sound - nothing). When I get back to the pits, I notice my shifter is REALLY sticky getting into gear - approx. 20 lbs of force if not more to get it into ANY gear - reverse is NOT POSSIBLE... no matter what gear I try to go into reverse from. For every gear, it gets harder and harder to get it in... sometimes it even grinds into 1st and 3rd. WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY SHIFTER/TRANNY?!?!? I drove it home from the track (NOT a good idea but I did it anyways) - however, once I get it into gear, it runs fine, no slipping gears - they still hold the torque fine... just getting it into gear is horrible and I give about 15 more shots into 1st before it becomes litterally impossible. Also, going into gear it makes a metal "plopping" sound... pretty audible from outside the car.... HELP!!!
P.S. If anyone can tell me about some good local shops in Vegas that can help me with my problem, I'd appreicate it.
Thanks
Ryan
