It seems that the higher the rpm, the tougher it is to throw in gear fast. Most of the time I really have to give it a good push. What is wrong with my car?

 

get a counter-weight shift knob and make sure your car is warmed up

 

any mods ?

 

It feels like the bushings though. I don't see how a knob will fix this. Trust me the car is warmed up.

 

It's cammed, turboback, intake, and intercooler piping.

 

stock clutch ?

 

yea. I am on 10 lbs though.

 

the shifter bushing maybe. check it out. i hear that our stock ones get messed up.

 

I ordered every single one. All 10 pieces. I was just making sure.

 

adjust your clutch, to make the pedal height higher which will push the disk furthur away from the flywheel and pressure plate.

 

I guess I will try that.

 

I made it higher which made it feel much stiffer and grab better, but I am still feeling it very tough to get it in gear. I really have to give it a nice push. I am waiting on my bushings and stainless steel clutch line. What else could it be. I don't know what is on this car. I just bought it a week ago so I don't know if it has a new clutch or not. It's a 2005 with 19k miles on it.

 

I also ordered a counter weight shift knob.

 

I would change your transmission fluid. When is the last time it was changed? Switching to a nice fluid like BG, or even Penzoil will make a great difference in shifting.

 

Motor mount and engine dampener will help high rev shifting
