Bobby I still don't have a proper shifting car. That rebuilt tranny was an improvement but the damn thing still is incredibly hard to row through the gears. Fast shifts ain't gonna happen until I get it solved.



I'm planning on a new ecu in September, AEM, and maybe a large stock mount so by mid to late September I will be running again, assuming I can get the tranny issue resolved.

Nope. That was my thought. Brand new motor mounts. I think the problem resides in the shifter or the wave washers or bushings. It's as if the plastic bushing at the bottom of the shifter were broken - but it's not.



You fractrure your wrist trying for a fast shift & powershifting is out of the question.



I'll figure it out.

I have used tom's method and did ok. It all really comes down to the burn out and launch! shifting is the easy part.
