Notchy second gear
Hey everyone, so i have a B&M short shifter in my car, and second gear feels realllly notchy. I know that BMs tend to be notchier than the competition, but when racing, I have to throw it down as hard as i can to avoid getting tripped up. Has anyone else experienced this, any solutions?

RE: Notchy second gear
was it any better to downshift into first when you bought the car?
only reason i ask is because the 6-speed is known for having synchro problems in first and second... very common actually, so don't shift hard into either gear, avoid heavy downshifting as well, if you find one day you can't get into second at all without having to force it in very hard then you have that problem and it usually calls for a tranny rebuild

Yeah i know that i am having synchromesh problems, cuz it grinds into second occasionally, but i didn't know that could be the reason behind the tough shifts as well

Yeah, its SUPER notchy in first, but only when downshifting. Getting there from neutral is no problem, but downshifting takes some muscle

i just installed the jhm a few weeks ago. after a few days of driving and getting the shift down,ihave to say it is afantastic upgrade. they hit the nail on the head with replacing the stock plastic and rubber shift lever base with a machined one. next is the snub mount. it's supposed to help eliminate the slop in the drivetrain.
