WOT shifting into third doesn't happen.

you're stock and wot shifting? i used to miss third all the time too...get a sts, you won't be sorry.

if its grinding with the clutch to the floor somethings f'd up. if your missing it or cant find it, re-center your clutch.

i used to miss 3rd everyday of my life lol.. now i can WOT shift every gear with the stock shifter in my sleep.. just takes practice

i have problems with my 3rd gear, sometimes. clutch all the way down, shift into 3rd ... sometimes it will pop back out. Almost as if I didnt push it all the way in.

I think thats all it was though
But it ONLY happens in 3rd.

Get a STS.

what does missing 3rd gear mean?

You go to put the shifter into the 3rd gear location and it doesn't go in. Happend all the time with the stock shifter.

i've heard of some people breaking their forks or their gear selector.

hopefully thats not your case.

Same thing thats happening to Dynasty is happening to me, Either I would push it into third and it would pop out, or it wouldnt go into third at all, even with the clutch pushed down as far as it could go. Ive gotten responses that say its from a third gear synchro that shot or could be a bent/broken shifter fork...

I only have problems with third during downshifts at moderate rpms 2000-4000. It wont go into gear sometimes but if i give it some extra force before i release the clutch it stays. Im also hoping a sts will solve my problem.

Hass STOP WOT shifting!!

My friend had the same problem, the next week on the way to work the car wouldn't shift at all......he grenaded his trans.

YIKES.. PwN3d..in a bad way *knocks on wood*

yeh its not worth WOT shifting unless your racing at the track or something worth messing your car up

last time at the track i only missed 3rd twice out of 12 runs wot shifting.. all depends on how you 'put it in' :hehe:

I used to shift WOT and it was cool for a while but then it started grinding so I said fuck that and stopped WOT shifts. I'd maybe only do it again if I was at the track. Besides I dont even feel it helps you....I regularly race someone who always shifts WOT while I don't and we stay dead even during the shifts. A lot of times I even gain on him while shifting. I don't think its worth it at all. The only good thing is that it sounds cool.(especially if you have stage 2 )

Yup, true story. The mechanic that took out his trans said that when he removed the drain plug there were chunks of metal that came out. FYI, the tech owns an SRT.

Anyway, I have never and will never WOT shift in my car. That's obviously my opinion, but after rebuilding transmissions in class I would hate to be those syncros. I would do it only if it was my weekend race car and I could afford to beat on it like that.

It does sound cool though.

I rarely do it.. i dont even do it at the track.. ive only done it a handful of times just to get it right while im racing.. the one to 2nd and 4th is cake but to 3rd took sometime to get.. but the feeling is awsome..
