Well after installing the new 3rd gear and cluster gear (replacing damaged 3rd) , I didn't like how 1st 2nd engaged.....I even took the tail cone off to double check. Well all the gears engaged and seemed fine on the quick test up and down the cul de sac.
Well once on track yesterday it quickly became apparent some thing isn't right. Upshifting from 1st to 2nd is fine, up and back 4th between 3rd is no problem what so ever. For turns 5,9, 15 & 18 I need 2nd. Regardless of what I do it clunks/crunches into 2nd; I tried double declutching, slow deliberate shifts, revving the motor higher and sliding it into 2nd..............all with the same result. (I can carry 3rd but it does drop to 3500, which doesn't help the lap times)

When the gearbox was apart all of the syncros where in excellent shape. It doesn't jump out of gear or anything like that. Also below about 20 MPH it goes into 2nd without issue The one and only thing I do notice is the 3rd 4th shift has a nice click click to it where as the 1st 2nd side feels a little vague. This wasn't an issue before the box was taken apart clearly something is out of adjustment...........so before I pull the box back out if anyone has dealt with this I'm wondering if there is an adjustment for the shift rod, detent balls or whatever that cure this let me know. Realistically I know I'm going to be pulling a gearbox but it doesn't hurt to ask.
