2nd gear

Hey guys I have a problem when I powershift to second gear were 90% of the time it misses. Now I do try to shift quick so odor know if the problem is me or the car. Do any of you have the same problem? If its the car would a upgraded clutch fix it? Woukd an upgraded trans fix it? Thanks

2nd can be a real bitch for me sometimes too when I'm quickshifting near redline.

Even though many (including myself) have had the 3rd gear fix, we feel that 2nd also isn't completely right.

That's my take on it.

next time out try keeping your foot on the clutch longer... iv noticed that most of the time that its happend to me its because of my error not the car. when ur going from first to second dont shift as quick, then repeat slightly faster each time. u should be fine
