i feel it might be in the drivers right hand and foot. I was behind him most of the quabin cruise. tried slamming second every shift. was only a matter of time

That would do it,

regardless that sucks about the motor again.

If he missed a shift could just be a bent pushrod easy to pull them an check if u have a couple free hours

He should get an LT1. Wind that baby to 300k wooooo

I wasn't behind him at all on that cruise, is that how he was shifting? If so, I think it'd be a better investment in advanced driving skills. And yes an lq9 will be the replacement of choice.

Check the pushrods very cOmmon

Or maybe a auto sentra.
