Grinding in 3rd

[scr8pn99camaro]

It's usually when I'm shifting hard, I can hit 1 to 2 hard, and sometimes when I'm past 3,500 RPM, I usually gring going into third, but when I'm shifting normally, it doesn't happen. I push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor when I'm shifting so I know that's not the problem, and I also have a B&M ripper shifter which I figured would help but it didnt. Is it an internal tanny problem or a driver problem?

What year is your car? Mine is a 2000 and for the first year I was racing it, I could not hit 3rd in a race for the life of me! I grinded it worse than anybody had seen, EVERY RACE. But then I got used to the car more, and learned to drive it better, and I rarely if ever miss 3rd now. It's always been the worse gear to hit while racing, you just gotta learn where uyours is better. It took me a solid year to get it down. I also was told it could be this and that,. syncros, and that....Nah, it is just the driver I'd say about 90% of the time. Good luck, just work with it.

Make sure youre pushing the clutch ALL the way in when you shift hard. Better to shift smooth than not shift at all due to clutch position :D
