Default turbo tc not getting into gears

ok so i had a couple runs 2nite on the new setup against a srt4 making 280whp and 305wtq.

when trying to go from 2nd to 3rd the shifter gets stuck.

we tried that a couple times and i couldnt 4 the life of me switch from 2 to 3 @6100rpm wot

so we went from a 3rd gear roll same thing, couldnt get into 4th

i walked em cause i made more power, but this was really frustrating

i have a comp clutch stage 5 and a f1 racing liteweight flywheel. the clutch doesnt feel like its slipping at all and it goes thru gears fine as long as ur not wot redlining it

the clutch has about 2k miles on it and this is the first time ive raced on it so its not beat the f--- up. please help. oh and im using royal purp synthetic tranny fluid

Cant really help you hear but thought i chip in and say i use to have the same problem. when i was boosted at WOT redline, i couldnt shift from 1st to 2nd but it would shift just fine when not WOT redlining shifting. Then i went back to N/A and it would shift just fine under WOT redline. No idea why i could not get into 2nd when i was boosted. About to get boosted again soon but im throwing in a new tranny this time to make sure my shifts go in.

That and I would also recommend a stainless steel clutch line.

Stock clutch hoses can swell over time and prevent the clutch from being fully disengaged. Stock rubber clutch hoses are weak links.

I will give you free shipping if you want to try it out. Let me know.

already placed my order as well for an SS clutch line.

As for the RP tranny oil, you will be fine so long as your using max-gear 75w-90. If your running RP syncromesh then you done fouled up. Change that ish asap. Ive ran RP max-gear in my tranny since the day i bought my car. Never had any issues with it. For my new setup though ill be changing it up a bit and start running Eneos 75w-90 gear oil. Reason for the change is simply because i just wanna try something new. hope that helps

Personally, we have used Motul Gear 300 with great success.
