Yesterday I was racing at a 20mph roll went to 6,300 rps when attempt to shift I missed, obiously I let the car go down a few thousands rps when attempt to shift into 2nd gear again and it would engage but it would act as neutral. at this point I was driving very slow so engaged 3rd gear and moved home. when at stops or red lights, the car when shifted to first it would engage but it acts like neutral as well... I had to drive the car home all the way in 3rd gear.
I paid a volvo mechanic that I know to take a quick look at the car looking for an easy fix, he did the following:
1- he look to see if there were any leaks on the transmission and it was NOT leaking
2- he removed the stick shift cover and checked for anything loose (there was NOTHING loose)
3-he removed the air intake system and check if there was anything loose on top of the transmission (everything was working fine) I was in the cabin engaging the gears and he was observing the behavior in front of the hood looking at top of transmission.
Notes:
1-the car has a 3000 miles clutch (spec stage 3+ $999.00
2-te car has a 3000 miles spec light weight flywheel $599.00
3-the car has a 300 slave cylinder $135.00
the only problem is 1st and 2nd gear. every other gear works like a charm.
any suggestions please???
