 Clutch Drag 1) The transmission should never feel notchy or block you from a gear while shifting (some people call it ‘lockout’). If this happens, NEVER force the trans into gear or the synchro will be ruined! This applies at any engine RPM. If it shifts smooth at low RPM, but it blocks you at high RPM, there is a clutch problem and it must be fixed immediately! When a trans blocks you from a gear, you are experiencing what we call ‘clutch drag’. This means the clutch is not letting go of the disk fully and dragging on the assembly. An adjustment might need to be made, or the clutch could be excessively warped at the pressure plate. If the trans won’t go into gear at all, the clutch is severely warped or broken, STOP and do not drive the car or transmission damage will occur!
I can't go into first if I am above 10-15mph.. Does this mean I have clutch drag? It sure sounds like I do from reading the info above from jackstrans...
If I do have clutch drag, how would I fix that? Does that mean the clutch needs replacement?

Re: Clutch Drag So your down shifting from second to first? Try rev matching it
eddy if you haven't changed your tranny oil this would be a good time.

Re: Clutch Drag Edit* Yes that's when i'm downshifting.
Do most people use Redline MT-90 for the trans? What do most people use on the tcase?
