Hey people wuts going on...im having a weird problem with my 5 speed fwd laser...My car is bone stock except K&N filter and nothing else...Well lemme explain wuts going on....As im driving the car in 1st gear say 3krpms...and i floor it and i shift hard into 2nd...it will fight me to try and go into 2nd (it wont grind but it will sort of put a fight for it)...only when im flooring it. If i goto shift into 2nd easily or mild on the throttle it will go in nice and easy. This is the only gear im having a problem with is the 1-2 shift....as for the 2-3,3-4,
4-5 shifts....i can grab those nice and easily with no fighting whats so ever. Now i know the car has bad motor mounts which is the reason i got prothane motor mount inserts coming in the mail soon. Im not really sure whats causing the 1-2 shift to "fight me" maybe i should put new fluid in the tranny? One of my friends told me it could be the loose motor mounts making the motor torque when u floor it in 1st...so when it tries to go into 2nd...it has a hard time letting u in because its not aligning properly...Any info would be appreciated...any suggestions as well... :laser:
 
Wait.. you floor it with the clutch in and it wont go into 2nd, or you mean you floor it then push the clutch down and shift and it wont go in.. I'm confused. But anywho, have you looked at your pressure plate on the clutch?
