Third Gear when hotrodding it

[OnEbAdReDSS]

When i hot rod from 1st to 2nd then i try to get into 3rd the clutch pedel gets stuck and then the car won't go into 3rd or 4th gear i have to pull the pedel back with my foot and then put the pedel back down to get into third... what is this?? taking it to a shop tomorrow wanted to know what i am looking at.

TTT no one knows tranny place says its the synchros

If your clutch pedal is sinking to the floor it is not your synchros. It's probably either your slave cylinder or clutch master cylinder. I replaced my master cylinder with an 01/02 model and did the drill mod. I've never had an issue since. Can you shift with out the clutch and get it into all the gears ok? Does it go in fine once you get the pedal up?

[OnEbAdReDSS]

yup the tranny shop replaced the damn slave cyl when they put the new clutch in the car... ugh this sucks... but ya no grinding or anything when driving normal and when i baby hot rod it... they called me back and said it might be a air bubble... weird..

Sounds to me like it is your master cylinder. So I take it they are going to bleed your system which may or may not help? I'm guessing since this was or should have been done when your slave was replaced that it's not the problem. I'd either do the drill mod on your current master cylinder or better yet get a new 01/02 model do the mod and install it. The entire process took me about 3hrs and cost me $150. I've never had a problem with my clutch pedal since then.

just go to the top and click on the icon that says "new thread"

yup it was the master cyl

[rc74racer]

If you get a new one make sure the drill mod is done to it. You can do a search on it to see what it takes to do it. It's simple and really helps improve the flow of hydraulic fluid.

shop put it in they said it was for a 01 02 camaro set up... i think that is with the drill mod if not i will do it later... guy says it shifts like a dream! Cant wait! is there any break in period?

[rc74racer]

It's not with the drill mod but you may not need it. I installed my own so I went ahead and did it before I put it in. No break in period.
