I CANT BELEAVE U MAN DIDNT I GO OVER THIS WITH U IT THE SAME THING WITH YOUR 03 THEY HAVE THE SAME PARTS BRO ITS THE SAME DRIVETRAIN. JUST BUY A NEW CLUTCH AND U WONT HAVE THIS PROBLEM BUY A ACT STREET AND U WONT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. DUDE COMEON WE WENT OVER THIS WHEN U NEED TO SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND

 

Huh? Why all caps? Ditch a perfectly new stock clutch why? My 124 hard launches and 1.69 60' must mean the stocker is junk? Go read the ACT thread and then post again about how good the ACT is. He should go Tilton or Exedy HD when he needs to 20Kmi+.

 

i have 38000 miles on my clutch its on in how u shift. neways i tought need where he needs to shift at if he dont want to do it thats not my problem for what he wants to do a tilton is not for him at this time im not going to get in it with u man im talking to the owner not u.

 

Miguel is a local I consult for and you sound like Julio from Chicago. Shift pattern and rpm avoidance is not sound advice. You should be able to drive a car without these symptoms. You can also do things to reduce or eliminate the symptoms. Short shifting is not the answer.

 

I will try everything you mentioned Scott, changing the SS clutch line, switch over to Pennzoil SM, under hood bushings, remove restrictor because I missed again from 1st to 2nd last night again after shifting past 7k!! I never miss in any other gear except that one. I will get a Tilton cluch as soon as my stocker goes,and most likely send my tranny to Jon at TRE because i dont want to keep having the same problems when im at the track.

 

What about adjusting the clutch pedal, which is the easiest to do and, in my experience, the most effective fix for 1-2 shift problems?

 

Did you have the same problem? Did it fix it when you adjusted the pedal? I will try that today

 

Restricted fluid transfer in the clutch line is a leading cause of a missed 1-2 shift as it is a fast shift. Faster than the clutch restrictor will allow the fluid to make it to the slave cylinder clutch fork rod.

 

Yes. I pulled the restrictor and it wasn't as bad, but it was still definitely there. Raising the engagement point on the clutch pedal to make sure that the clutch was fully disengaging was the real ticket.

 

Oh yeah, the metal shift bushings helped me out as well

 

I had alot of trouble shifting 1-2 at high rpm. Replaced the rear engine mount and tightened everything up, and haven't had any problems since.
