Had my first autocross in 3 years this weekend and everything went better than expected. Towards the end of the day (dual entered the car), 3rd gear started acting up on me. It was acting like it was physically locked out... It wouldn't go in without a fight even in the pits.
I simply ran the last two runs in 2nd and figured I was out of luck. Packed up and low and behold, 3rd was back. A bit notchy compared to the other gears, but didn't grind and really didn't make much of a fuss. Anything I should consider other than a linkage issue? Here is my current setup: Rennshift Bronze side shift console bushing Swepco 201 ...everything else normal. I have one of Chris' fancy firewall bushings to go in, so I'll be taking everything out (linkage wise) to inspect. I half wonder if that bronze bushing worked it's way out... |

Spent yesterday afternoon putting in a Tangerine Racing spherical firewall bushing. This afforded me an opportunity to take the entire shift linkage out of the car. Everything looks good there. While I need to do more work to set the bushing up correctly and adjust the shifter, the strangeness in 3rd seems to still be there. Sigh...
