shifted from first to second around 5 grand and the felt like i missed a gear. now my neutral position is my first gear and it wont go into any other gear while driving. When stopped it will shift in other gears but they are all out of order...what the hell happpened? I looked at the shifter linkage and everything seems normal. Is my tranny broke?

 

My bet is a shift fork.

 

im guessing the same thing. taking it to the dealer now, hopefully they cover it...im not really financially capable of paying this all on my own right now..

 

^^^^Im with them also^^^^

 

ev0wn3d U!

haha sorry, Yeah I would guess a bent shift fork.

Good luck!

 

its down at the dealership now, they are already giving me **** about my ACT clutch. I might have to set up a meeting with the district rep...any recommendations? should i bring paperwork for him to see the Magnuson Moss act?

 

yeahhhhhh........... you installed upgraded clutch and now your shift fork is bent (most likely). those are directly related, magnuson moss isnt gonna help you.

 

they still have to prove that the extra load capacity of the aftermarket clutch is capable of breaking/bending a shift fork...which i dont think they can or will take the time in doing. I plan to carry this out as far as i have to to get my car fixed under warranty. I will even go as far as filing a report with FTC


its not just as simple as to, "hey look your clutch is worse then out stock one, so therefor it fubarued your car." Technically the stock clutch can bend/break a shift fork as well.

 

I done this a long time ago with 5k on my vehicle. Missed 2nd, tried for force it


Wouldnt go in gear period, bent shift fork. Also the pin came out of the shift fork and tore my trans up.


Good Luck

 

but that is exactly what is gonna happen, they are gonna say "increased pressure on the input shaft/clutch assembly (blah blah blah) due to your upgraded clutch caused the shift fork to bend". it also seems that its not so much they have to prove it caused it, its more that you have to prove it didn't

at this point you will have three options:

1)take them to court
2)pay them to fix your shift fork at the dealer $$$$$$$$$$$
3)send your transmission out to shep or TRE to get it fixed and upgraded (probably the cheapest option unless you happen to be a lawyer and defend yourself)

i would pick option 3, you gotta pay to play, if you wanted a full warranty then you should have left the car stock and waited to do mods until the warranty was up

 

yeah i might just send it out to SHEP. But first ill see how much of a headache and pissed off i can get the service rep if he says that he wants to go to court. Which i highly doubt he wants to.

ill keep this thread updated guys.

my car is doing almost the similar thing but i have stock clutch it was replace by the dealer at 17k the car now has 31k and it seems like it grinds going from 2nd to 3rd at low rpms...whats causing this? clutch is not slipping grabs perfectly fine!

 

no what your car is doing is not even close to what mine is doing....ight cya

 

lol well im sure if i keep driving it ill eventually be in ur spot but id do what justboosted said option 3! shep! thats where mines goin if it ever reaches that step.

 

yeah agreed, i might end up with that option but money is sort of a problem right now =(. hopefully ill get lucky and the service rep will close one eye and let it go.
