Not something I even want to talk about but I've decided to come on here and see if others have had this problem. Last Oct 2014 I was driving on a road trip, was near the end of the trip and somebody wanted to see what my car could do. I had the car under hard acceleration through first and second and when I went into third it was like the shifter it a wall and it popped into first instead. The front tires locked up for a split second before I pushed the clutch in.
Since then Iv replaced my clutch to something better and had everything checked and it seemed fine. Well... today it happened again. Same situation, hard acceleration and it didn't want to go into third and instead went into first, the second I felt it I hit the clutch and it wasn't nearly as dramatic as the first time. Tires didn't lock up but the car did dip forward before I reshifted to third.
This problem is killing me, I'm ashamed to think I miss shifted but how could the car even let me shift into first at all. Also even under normal driving sometimes third just doesn't want to let me in on the first try.
Any advice or answers would be welcome.:mad0259:
