im chillen at a stop light today and i put it in first.. light turns green so i let out the clutch. clutch is engaged about half way and then i hear a loud ass thump and the shifter slams out of first. it does this about half the time now from a dead stop.. from a 5mph roll its fine tho. is this bad gears; clutch, or tranny? i drive a 2000 mustang and just installed a short throw shifter.

 

maybe your syncros?

 

anyone know any shops that will check it out for cheap

 

check the bolt holding the shifter in, mine did that with second gear because the bolt wasnt threaded in all the way

 

sonds to me like youre not fully in gear. does the shifter have any type of adjustment stops ?????? you may need to adjust them if so

 

gotta be the shifter.. bought and installed my short throw about a week ago.. but why is it just now doing it

 

process of elimination... try putting your stock one back in

 

yep.. it was the shifter.. took it to the hobby shop today and took it apart.. the bolts used as stoppers were bolted in way to far.. just pushed em out a little runs good now.. thanks guys

 

yep just like i said!!!!
