Hey everybody!
(Hi Doctor Nick!)
Anyhow, here's the deal. I'm having some weird shifter feedback from my car. It's set up with a B&M short throw (always had it), HMS trans with a Torsen, upgraded forks etc, SVT clutch, Fidanza flywheel, and fresh Ford honey (all under 2k miles).
So, what's going on is when I shift, I get this feedback like the shifter is passing over 2 or 3 notches before it pops into place. It's sort of a gravel-y feeling; the car shifts fine, it just doesn't feel pleasant. It's predominant in 1st, 3rd, and 4th. On the flip side, I'll occasionally get a super-smooth, melted-butter-over-10w30 feeling. But even that isn't consistent; sometimes, the rough gears shift smooth for a while, but then revert back.
The odd thing is, I've always gotten those rough shifts once in a while, but in the past two weeks, the ratio's inverted. I would say it was something with the trans install, but it shifted fine for a month and a half after that. I'm worried something's wearing out...
TH seems to think it has something to do with the cable tugging... has anyone had an experience like this?
