[QUOTE="massmustang, post: 15329341, member: 180077"] One common problem I've experienced as you increase power, shifting to 2nd and/or 3rd gear while hitting higher RPMs (read as 5K+) you sometimes getting blocked from shifting into gear. I've read stronger/stiffer motor mounts, MGW shifters and/or CHE k-member braces WITH torque limiters help resolve this. It only seems to happen to me when the car is wicked hot (after driving through the summer heat extended periods) and this when I had modest power (4.56 gears, CAI, tune and CMDPs). I'm working on a Boss 5.3 stroker now and using billet motor mounts that lower the engine 1/2". So I'll see how it runs with the extra torque and the stock 5-speed. Next step might be an MGW and aluminum drive shaft, but I'm still thinking about the k-member brace with torque limiters. Plus, the T56 Magnum (or a TR6060) swap is on my list long-term. Which drives me to think about waiting on the MGW and driveshaft since I'd have to swap them out. [/QUOTE]
