I swapped my trans this weekend with a used one and replaced the clutch with a Exedy OEM replacement. I also swapped out the stock shifter bushings for bearings and added polyurethane motor mounts.
Here's the problem. The shifter feels different. The gates are all in slightly different spots than I remember and 5th gear pops out of place. What could I have done wrong or what can I do to fix this problem? It goes smoothly into all gears and will stay in 5th so long as I don't get on the gas hard. If I jab at the throttle at 3k+ in 5th gear, it will pop out.
Ironically, the old trans popped out of every gear except 1 & 5. :dunno:
