2nd gear problems tr6060
Does anybody have the problem where shifting in higher rpms, you get "locked out" of 2nd? Namely above 6k? If I shift around there it's fine but if I actually go to 6700 it won't go. It just grinds. Obviously shifting at 6k kills my ETs. 2>3 and 3>4 work fine Everytime.
Anyone have any solutions? I remember reading a while back that the gt500 guys would pull the shifter towards them while going to 2nd. It worked for some and not for others. It's done it since I bought the car. I have already flushed the fluid and have redline d4 right now, which has helped 100% with the 2nd gear notchiness during normal driving.

How often do you flush your clutch/brake fluid?

Maybe the shift fork pad is fubar. But the rpm part of it leads me to the clutch disengagement

Haven't had that problem, but then, I hardly ever shift that high in 2nd. 6700 is approaching fuel cut-off on a stock SS from what I understand. In your case, it might be different.

Looking back at some logs I was doing 64-6500 (still low, but I think the previous year of it locking out had me too nervous to try any higher) successfully all year (with redline d4) up until the last time out. Maybe it's a cold problem? It happened 3 times out of the blue that day, one on my best 60' to date, then it was good for the following pass, then 2 in a row it locked me out/grind. At that point I cut the track day short by about 2 hours.

I really thought these had the carbon blockers and triple cone synchros in the lower gears factory. That being said I did own a t56 that I mailed to a shop and it was a huge improvement. Not sure if u have anyone local but Someone like tick or Texas drivetrain perf would do an awesome job and u just mail it in a Tupperware. It was easy
Just make sure you install a slave remote bleeder once you’re in there
