Alright so I got another CB and I have a pretty basic but serious problem. I barely have 2nd gear. Here's the setup:
Non LSD Gearspeed rebuilt H22 tranny w/Quaife LSD installed
ACT HDSS (about 2-3 years old)
Forbidden short shift kit
I think the culprit may be the short shift kit as shifting just feels shitty all around... every gear engages differently and 2nd is just terrible. The big problem is, when I shift to 2nd, it engages about 20% of the time... the rest of the time, it either pops out or just grinds and doesn't engage at all.
My questions are...
-Could this be caused by the Forbidden shifter and fixed with a regular shifter?
-Could this be caused by bad tranny oil? GM Synchromesh was used religiously, albeit perhaps not wisely
-If the 2nd gear synchro is the culprit (gulp), is the tranny worth saving? A "new" H22 tranny costs about $600-700, an H23 tranny costs even less
The car's probably gonna sit for a month or two as I don't wanna exacerbate the problem... in any case... provide some guidance and insight
