So, today, I was goofing around and hit redline in second, went to go pop it into third, and the shifter went in, but as I release the clutch, and gave it gas, the car did nothing.
Pushed in clutch, moved to neutral, and back into third, and it was fine. Hmm weird? Drove the car relatively normal, and 3rd played nicely. So during lunch, I went to try it again, redline second, went into third (no grinding, feels pretty smooth), and nothing. Put it in neutral again, back into third and car drives fine.
After that, I did a third gear pull, and went into fourth and everything is kosher. Just seems like the 2-3 change is where I"m having issues.
My car has been doing that for months now, false neutral where third should be. Shift to third slower, works for me.
Here's a third gear flat shift in .3 seconds, so it's still possible to shift stupid fast, but much faster than that and it's false neutral every time.
