skip shift solenoid problem?
skip shift solenoid problem? Ok i had the skip shif eliminator resistor pluged up to the wire that goes to the solenoid. I was racing the other day and my car did not want to go into 3rd at all or any other gear after that. i coasted in neutral until i pulled over and realized my clutch pedal was stuck on the floor. i pulled it out and drove home good as new. the next day i go to work and i put the car in third and it grinds on the way in. and its beend doing it ever since. I looked under the car and the skip shift looks fried. and is hot and all the insulation that was around it melted out. so i took it off and connect it back to the tranny and still the same problem. What do yall suggest is wrong. I have done a search but nothing comes out to my symptoms. The gear goes in in regular low rpm shifting, but with a grind. And not at all in high rpms. Would appreciate the help. Thanks
I dont think skip shift is your problem. Sounds to me your clutch isnt releasing all the way. Skip shift only locks you out of 2nd & 3rd.

So if it was the bad skip shift it would not let me into 2nd as well? i bled the fluids and now the pedal doesnt stick but it still doesnt let me into third. What makes third different from my other gears not going in? all the others go right in. I dont get it because i would have thought that before it went out the way it did it would have started grinding a time before this happened. I drove the car today and i cant get into third at all. it just seems weird that from one day to the other it messed up. Tranny only has 20,000 miles

your clutch and or hydraulics are toast. this has nothing to do with the skip shift.
if the clutch is OK now and the prob is only in 3rd, then 3rd is probably toast too.
try bleeding the clutch/

Clutch works fine. I bled the clutch the next day and now it doesnt stick, but third still doesnt go.

Which one is the right one? I put it on the side of the torque arm. was that the righ one? how did you fix this. I already reconnected it back to stock and still no solution.
