I just bought my 1999 contour yesterday and have been practicing driving on a 1993 and 1995 mustang gt. The clutch ont he svt is a lot easier and handles smooth but i have been having a lot of trouble actually geting into 2nd gear. When i hit the clutch and shift the gear never engages. Its only after i move the shifter from 1st and then back into 2nd hard does it actually work. Is this nroaml or am i doing something wrong. PS thsi is an aftermarket shifter. I don't have the problem with any other gears. Sometimes i'll here a grinding noise then i hit the clutch again and move the shifter to 1st and then throw in back hard but with out concentrating to hard and it usually seems to work, if not i just repeat this process. what can i do to fix it? :rolleyes:
