Ok, my transmission sucks, It's a pain in the A$$ to get in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. It won't go in sometimes, and I have to force it in with all my strength. Any ideas??? And yes, it does it for every gear and it has 53000. By the way, how do you look at a AEM uego wideband. I have mine installed and when I WOT it, it just goes blank. How am I suppose to tune it if it does'int tell me what I'm running at WOT.. I'm tunning it with a safc ii. Thanks.

as far as your transmission issue goes have you checked your transmission fluid? The fill/check plug can be an *** to get out. if you have issues with that just drain it, remove the shifter, capacity is 2.5 quarts. Other anyone else have ideas?

[edit] didnt read your whole post. no input on the AEM wideband...[/edit]

I guess it's time to learn how to double clutch.

Bent shift linkage or fork?

is it grinding? Like you have to force it in and it's griding or does not grind, you just have to fight to get it in?

if it's grinding you've probably got clutch issues not transmission issues.

Yea, i have to fight it in and it grinds like a mofo. Did any of you guys have problems with the stock clutch after the turbo?? My whole car shakes and chatters like crazy when I drop it in gear.

that's a clutch issue man... how old is your clutch? it sounds like you've blown one of your springs apart in your clutch plate...

just my initial thoughts.

with your car turned off, go through the gears. if it goes through the gears smoothly then you need a new clutch. if you still have an issue getting it in gear you might have a bent fork.

My only problem in 3rd gear is under boost at 10psi, freakin put it in 5th gear instead! Under no boost no problem. I have the B&M shifter! Either my Synchro is bad or I need to learn to drive!!

i would have said synchros, but four synchros don't go at once. did this just start overnight one day or has it been getting worse and worse. about the uego, you may want to try the aem boards, although i'm willing to bet its a bad connection.

some widebands say AIR, if you are richer then what they can read. The aem should say something if you are richer then its scale. at partial throttle roll on it until wot and watch to see if your afr numbers are droping consistantly, it might be going out of range. Make sure all connections are secure.

i havnt researched the aem wideband but ^^ is a educated hypothesis on my part.
