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...
