You might want to have your gears checked, cuz my old motor popped out of 2nd and grinded into 3rd. They said my gears were slipping due to the grind. But i dunno

There've been people with that exact same problem.... specifically 2nd popping out. If i remember rite it's the gear's synchro's that are dammaged/bent. It might be another part (correct me if i'm wrong), but it's something you should have fixed... hopefully under your warranty

check the clutch. Cause that meens the clutch isn't catching all the way in second. You might eventually need a new one.

Shifting from 2nd-3rd missed gear!!!

well mines when I shift to first and it doesn't wanna go in, I have to let go of the clutch and put it back to 1st... I just got ACT Extreme Clutch and Flywheel and it doesn't do it all the time just once in a while...

And also, when accelerating and shifting from 2nd to 3rd sometimes it misses the gear and I'm grinding it bad, this happened about 4-6times already... and it's pissing me off

Is this a related problem, or my SS needs to be changed coz I can feel it wabble a little bit when on gear...
