When shifting from 3rd to 4th quickly it feels like I hit a wall in neutral and it wont go into 4th. However, after it (the shifter) hits the wall and stops, i can pull it into 4th normal. It shifts fine when shifting really slow, but it wont go from 3rd to 4th quickly, anyone know what problem might be? I have a clutch adjuster and thats tight and it doesn't grind, it just won't go in.

I have a similar problem with my T45 in my '99 GT. Occasionally when shifting to 4th it feels like it stops, then I push it to neutral and shift back into 4th easily.

I have a stock shifter though.

There are three things I can think of. 1, it's a synchro issue because the worn synchro can't engage fast enough when you try to speed shift it. 2, detent ball on the shift rail is starting to wear and catching weird sometimes. 3, your not shifting it right, not likely since you have a shifter but it's still possible.

I would think the first is the most likely scenario. Go way to check synchro action is to clutchless shift while driving normally. If your not sure how to do this I will do my best to internet crash course you.

By the way, you say your clutch is tight, do you mean high up in the pedal? I've seen some cases where the pedal engages real close to the floor and a "weaker" synchro cannot compensate like the others, when infact the clutch does not fully disengage.

Yah i'll try the clutchless shifting, the clutch engages fully and high in the pedals motion. I got the clutch adjuster cause i hated having the floor the clutch every time i wanted to shift.

Clutchless shifting was rough.

Probably 1 or two things. Your either not shifting right or your synchros are ****ed. That's something I can't determine over the net.
