ok i got a new pump and clutch installed the other day and i noticed when i run through the gears at Wot i shift into 4th at wot the engine just revs.. i think it's going into 4th but nothing is happening is it me??? someone told me that the 3-4 shift fork could be bent but under normal driving it shifts fine but not under wot could i be missing 4th and hitting 6th and slipping the clutch? im not sure has anyone else had this problem? it's 97M6

 

How hard are you shifting at WOT? The fork could be bent to where if you shift it nice it will still work but harder and it won't.

And I don't think you're missing fourth, it's straight down. I think I've only misshifted into 6th once.

 

i have a b&m ripper shifter and im slamming it pretty hard i can get the rear to break loose in 3rd but when slamming it down in 4th theres nothing.. also i slamed the shifter down from 3rd to 4th a couple of times not at wot though to see if it was the fork and it worked fine.. so im thinking maybe it's me since i only notice this problem with others in the car..

 

I had this exact same problem today at the track, I just recently insatlled a spec stage 3. I never usually miss the 3-4 shift but today it hapenned exactly as you described on back to back runs I shifted hard from 3rd to 4th and the shifter seemed to go into gear but when I got back on it the engine would just rev without me going anywhere. Then I parked the car for a bit and it seemed to shift fine. I ran again though and the same exact thing hapenned (the car only partly goes into gear then I have to press in the clutch and force it to go in all the way) It seems like it could be a bent shift fork but I'm curious to know what your problem ended up being?

 

i adjusted my shifter futher back and that may of helped but my problem was that when i powershifted into 4th i would pull my arm towards me and back and that would cause me to either miss 4th or go into 2nd. and now after alot of practice i don't have that problem anymore. hope that helps and good luck with finding your problem.

 

What type of shifter do you have? Do you mean that you adjusted the stops further back? I think I have the same problem as you but the opposite side. I upside down palm the shiftknob and pull it away from me to avoid hiting 2nd in case of a missed shift. It's probably just user error in my case Although I could have sworn I felt the shifter go into gear (partly) both times. Guess I just need to practice more.

 

i have the B&M ripper shifter with the longer stick and not the shorter one. the washers in the kit have the holes in one location and i put the holes towards the top and bolted it down. well when i was having that problem i took them out and put the holes towards the bottom which allowed me to slide the shifter back some.

 

Just thought I would update this. My problem ended up being the Trans mount. I took a look at it underneath the car and it seemed fine, but then I took it to my mechanic and he removed it to inspect it and we saw it was torn almost all the way across Now I know why I could feel the whole tranny moving up whenever I would press the gas hard, and why I I was having so much trouble shifting at WOT. Replaced the trans mount and I haven't missed a WOT shift since.
