I know this is a common problem for the t-45 transmission but it seems that every time I shift hard from 1-2 it grinds(granny shifting too). Even if I am going 15mph and have held the clutch in for 5 seconds, if I shift with some force, it will grind from 1st to 2nd.The car will even grind if I put it back into first when stopping at a light or stop sign. I have heard that an aftermarket shifter helps, but I have one and yet it still grinds. I there anything I can do?

i actually had the same problem, but when i installed the triax, it kinda eliminated the grinding. i've tried to slam it on 2nd gear and it grinded pretty bad. but i dont have any problems when i granny shift. im not sure if its just the clutch, cause it was worse when i had the stock shifter. the triax did help...when i replace my clutch, i'm going with either mcleod's (sp?) or king cobra.
