I'm not perfect at english so please try to understand.

My problem is that when i'm at the track i usually let my car at 5000rp's, when i see green light i let go of the clucth, the car run's like the devil, but when i tried to put 2nd gear i just can't, i have to let go of the gas, put neutral, slow down, and then put 2nd gear again and see if it works, i don't know why this happend, a friend told me that it might be the clucth, i change it 1 year ago, but i recently fix my engine, and now the car is stronger, other person told me that is the gear box, this is my daily driver, when i drive the car normal (when i'm not running) works just fine, thank's guy's :thumb:
 
Im gonig to take a stab at it, and say learn how to shift.
A friend of mine had the same problem. Good clutch, no mechanical problems, just could not bang 2nd gear while racing. He "over shifted" the car. Basicly shifting before the car was ready. Try this, Take the car up to normal shift RPM when you are racing.
But do it slow. Just try slowing your shifting down, and you may see that the problem is you and not the car.

second gear is like that for me, only in higher rpms, then i have to double clutch and itll go in. does it grind at all when you try to get it in? im just guessing worn synchros. what my help is changing your tranny fluid if you havent already.
