This has happened one other time on the street and it is only in second gear that it happenes. Any of you transmission guys have any ideas on what might be wrong? Thanks 1995 SE Mods-Resonator gone, glasspack in place (It sounds good, try it). Cracked secondaries, TPS Mod, Removed Intake resonators. Future Mods- SVT exhaust (Wanna sell yours?) and window tinting this summer. More for later. Its my daily driver that I race on the weekends.
