: Only Second Gear works!????

So confused right now.

Just got back from a shitty night at the drags.

First Run: Second gear missed.
Second Run: Took 5 times to get into second gear.

In the pits: I looked for something unusual to cause this whole matter. Found a small puddle of tranny gear lube under the car. Stupid me, I decided to go for a third run for the hell of it (mainly since I was pissed at my 1/4 mile times).

Third Run: Burn out went fine until second gear which took two times to get into it. Pull up to the tree, go to put it in gear, and son of a bitch, no gears worked except second.

I got home and checked under the car. All bolts for shift linkages in place and tight still. A slight case of gear lube coming out, but the tranny is still full of out. And nothing else seems out of task.

Any help is very appreciated. Thanks, Scott:rolleyes:

wheel hop. you killed the tranny, no worries though I'm on #3. It comes w/ drag racing an se-r. You need a new tranny your case is cracked around the pass side axle and shift linkage I bet.

Well damn that sucks, but that's what I figured.

Did you have the same symptoms? Every gear felt like you were hitting a wall, not even close to getting into gear, except second.

Do you think the Energy Suspension Motor Mount inserts have anything to do with it? Not allowing the tranny to hop with the wheels. I don't know, just things that are popping into my head.
