Anyone ever hit 2nd instead of 4th?

[evanandretti]

I've done it twice... :stupid: :dontknow:

anyone else ever have a problem? is there a way to fix it? Seems like 4th isn't straight down you have to pull it to the right a bit... it seems like it just wants to go into second. Anyway to adjust?

Also, this is a rebuilt transmission. When shifting into second when the trucks been sitting overnight the first time it's a really stiff shift, and have to wait a little bit before it will let me in second. Also can hear a bit of whining through the gear box... i forget what it sounded like before it was rebuilt maybe im just being paranoid? And when the truck is off should i beable to run through each gear smoothly with out pressing the clutch? It's tough to engage the gears without the clutch in... thanks guys!

I had it happen to me twice after I installed a B & M shifter. I put the stock shifter back in and have never done it since. I liked the close pattern of the B & M but it wasn't worth loosing a transmission.

My cousin did it in my cobra 3rd to 2nd car went sideways because he dumped the clutch.

We had it 2 or 3 times... but we were quick on the respone.
But that happend when we wanted to go from 6th to 4th... and we got 2nd
It's more often that u can't get it right from 2nd to 3th...
We got a B&M shifter to.

Yup, guilty.... I did it a few times. The most notable time was when I was about to bust a GTO's ass on 24. Then wam!

Ive gone from 2nd to 5th a few times... Mostly when I was searching for 3rd.

 

[DevilDawg3097]

That is probably what did my OEM clutch in by 9K miles.. ..700+ LBs of torque at the crank would smoke the clutch when I hit 5th WOT instead of 3rd.......thought I blew the engine the first time it happened..smoke poured out the back...

I have never missed a gear..( That's Bullshit )

 

[10banger]

I think I still have teeth marks on the steering wheel.

I spun out on a huge warehouse parking lot at mid of 3rd
