BAAD TRANNY!

[GTtopLESS]

My 02 is acting up...When attempting to put into first or second, it feels like I am hitting an "edge" in my tranny/shifter and doesnt want me to go in. This only happens id say 3% of the time... If I pull into the gear it seems to click/not grind/ past the sticking point? Any ideas what this could be?

The TR3650's are known for bent shift forks, maybe that's it?

this sounds to me like a clutch issue to me. do you still have your stock cable and quad/firewall adjuster?

 

[GTtopLESS]

As far as I know the clutch cable and components are all stock. She does have a tri-ax, arent aftermarket shifters able to prevent bent forks? Now that you mention it the clutch does seem to release kind of high... she is actually at the dealership now gettin molested...thanks let ya know

Are you sure your shifter stops are set properly?

I adjusted the stops to the point where I can slide a piece of notebook paper(folded in half) fairly easily...dont know where I got this from but after working 20 straight hours it seemed logical...any better ideas for spacing?

It's better to just remove the stops altogether. I've read many times that the TR-3650's have internal shift stops and it's not necessary to have stops in the shifter itself.
