I went to the track last night. First time on a quarter mile track. On the first run I spun a little bit taking off (2.1 60 ft), hit 2nd good, shifted to 5th instead of third, immediately tried to put it back in third, had a grinding noise and it wouldn't go, so I put it in fourth and finished the run. That's the only run I did because since the return road I cannot put the car in first while it is moving. It has to be at a complete stop to avoid making a grinding noise. It shifted fine before that run. All the other gears seem to work properly and once the car is in first it seems to work fine. It just won't go into first gear even as slow as 4 mph.
I still have the stock clutch and am at BPU+. The temp was in the low 50s. Could I have just fried the clutch? Or is the tranny bad? I hope it is the clutch. It is expensive but nothing compared to a new tranny. Please help.
Thanks.
BTW On the bright side I only ran 8.6 @ 83mph in the 1/8th but a 12.9 @ 113mph in the quarter. A 30 mph gain in the last half was cool.
