Hi All,
At the risk of sounding stupid, paranoid, ocd, idiotic, etc..... here goes.
I installed my alpha shift knob a few months back (the one with the top that unscrews for storage), and ever since, i find it very hard to shift the sling into reverse. Took it out today and when backing into the driveway, I struggled getting it into gear. Thought it was in, let off the clutch and gave it some gas and $&@));/&;@;&48.!:@/....... it started to grind. Threw it in nuetral.... put it in first..... went back to reverse and it went into gear. Now, for the questions....
Did I do any damage??? Which is my biggest fear. This is the second time it has happened.
Also, could it be giving me problems going into gear because of the new shifter??? I don’t mind going back to the original shifter if it will make it go into gear easier.
Thanks for everyone’s help in advance, and if this is a stupid question my apologies. This is my second manual shift vehicle in my 30 years and I never grinded gears in reverse or in forward motion before. Thanks!!!!
