ive noticed my 91 240 has a block on the gears to temporarily keep me from getting in them at high rpms. i take first up to redline and 2nd doesnt want to let me in.... is there a way i can get maybe a skip shift eliminator to take care of that? i dont mind it being on 1st to keep me from shifting 1st -> 2nd -> 1st while shooting for 3rd. but when im just going 1st -> 2nd i dont want anything to slow me down

Is your car manual if so you might have worn syncos, or you might want to try adjusting the clutch. Just a thought. Nick

has it ever grinded for you, if it has it may be syncros. If not dont worry about it and drive it, its a good thing to be able to push up on the shifter from 2nd gear and always hit 3rd.

First gear doesn't have a synchro and last time I checked you really can't (nor should you) downshift to first doing highway speeds 65+.

its a 5 spd and yeah its grinded before when i went to third i always figured i wasnt pushin the clutch in far enoguh but now that i think about it i push it in the same distance all the time. i just wanna be able to shift to 2nd 3rd and maybe 4th and not have anything slowing it down. my goal here is to beat a 3000gt in a 1/4 mile so i dont need anything slowing it down. ill probably even take out the back seats and spare for that race
