Default Shifter has mind of its own?

Hey guys.

Im just wondering if any otehr of u fellas have the same problem i have with my tc 5 spd.

sometimes when i go to shift out of 1st gear i press the clutch in and i begin to move the gearshift down to 2, and it just goes in by itself.

Like as soon as i make the SLIGHTEST touch of the shifter.

its kinda hard to describe. it seriously just yanks itself in, like HARD.

lits just like, when i go to shift into 2nd, it does it by itself. like it LITERALLY looks like there is a ghost driving my tc.

does anyone else experience this?

it only happens with 1-2

yeah, I know what youre talking about, it makes a little click, and it snaps out like a bat out of hell, out fo your hand, and into second gear. It is odd, only reason i can come up with is that 1st gears ratio is nuts.

It's kind of normal. Just happens occasionally and I doubt there's much you can do about it. Just the right conditions and situation make it happen...

im pretty sure its caused by engine/tranny movement. stiffer motor mounts should get rid of it. i get this at higher rpms most of the time but sometimes during normal driving.
