Aah!! I missed a shift
 
Man I HATE doing that. Some of you know by my other thread "Stumbling over 4000" that I just changed my ignition coil. I just took the car on a test drive to see if that solved the problem and it seems to have. Only thing, on the second test, goin from 1rst to 2nd I ground 2nd kinda hard, but let off quickly. First time I've ever ground 2nd... this was the first time I took the car out today and I guess wasn't fully awake, mentally. I know I shouldn't be worried about it since it's not something that I do all the time. It's just that this is my new (as of April 2003) GT and my daily driver and I don't wanna tear it up. :(

I need some consolation. :o :D I know I'm gonna beat myself over the head all day about this......................

Ha-ha!
 
You are seriously posting because you missed a shift?! :p That's funny. I hate when that happens man. But your fine. Missing a shift, every once in a while is ok. As long as your trans doesn't begin having trouble going into that gear now? But I wouldn't sweat it. You gotta drive the hell out of your car...that's why we mod them out right...to get that adrenaline rush?!

Dude, dont sweat it, aint the first time you missed a shift, and it aint gonna be the last. Happens to everybody, no big deal.

Yeah, I know it shouldn't be a big deal. :) The tranny shifts fine... I dunno, I've missed shifts b4 (a few times going from 2nd to 3rd--BEFORE the Tri-AX), but I never b4 ground the stinking gear like I did today. Really annoys me! Makes me cringe.

The '92 is my daily car so I gotta go easy on it. The '79 is for dishing out punishment. :D Anyways, thanks for the consoling, guys. :D

A little grinding hear and there isnt a biggie, but if you are really that concerned, just change the tranny oil.
