This is probably going to be for the forced induction guys more than anyone, but here's my issue:
I CANNOT hit a hard shift into 2nd at WOT in the car. Simply put, the tranny refuses to go into 2nd gear, and third gear offers quite a bit of resistance at high throttle inputs also. When driving easily however, it shifts fine into any gear I want it to. Call me crazy but I've always had trouble shifting cable actuated manual transmission under heavy loads. What I think is happening is that my old/weak motor mounts are allowing enough movement in the motor that enough of a shift happens to throw off the sync of the cables to the shifter. What I'm trying to do is get some verification on this. Thoughts? I must have tried 4-5 times last night on the way home from work to bang a high RPM WOT 1-2 shift and it wouldn't happen. --------------------  |

hey maybe this will help you out... i have an e153 tranny... i had the EXACT same problem about... 2 months ago... it started with hard shifts out of 1st into 2nd at WOT... it just wouldn't go... i had to POP it out of gear and wait for RPM's to settle before moving it into second... thats how it started... i took it all over trying to figure out what was wrong... now i have a competition clutch stage 4 six puck from tweak... so i got used to not throttling it hard... well next the clutch pedal started sticking at high rpms... i would go to shift and the pedal would still be on the floor... then it got worse and worse... lower and lower rpms the pedal would stick... so i changed the slave cylinder.... BAM! shifts smooth as butter... loved it... week later... slave went bad again
 ... so at this point i had the problem narrowed down... i went ahead and replaced everything... slave, master, hydraulic lines... and even got myself an extended pushrod made for the e153... havent had a single problem since then... just something to keep in mind if it gets worse or if anyone has the same problems in the future
