[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 13375538, member: 141815"] The problem is being caused by the fact the shifter is mounted in rubber bushings to both the transmission and the tunnel/body of the car. This was done to isolate harmonics from the transmission from entering the cabin of the car through the stick. As the engine twists on the motor mounts under hard acceleration, it is also twisting the shifter in its rubber mounts where it is mounted to the transmission, but the tunnel/body of the car isn't twisting on the rear mount of the shifter. So you are actually are twisting the shifter now. Twist the engine far enough in the chassis and the shifter doesn't move in the proper manner, you then miss second gear. I experienced this once. I bought the Barton Shifter and have never experienced it again. Barton uses poly-urethane bushing in their mounts. They also machine the shifter out of aluminum and delrin. It is a very good upgrade in my opinion. I did gain some harmonics in the cabin. [/QUOTE]
