Tranny Experts needed, Wierd issue after track night?!?!
what up fellas, so I was out at the local track and everything was going great. I FINALLY had the ACT lock me outa 4th for the first time, but it was my fault. I normally shift at about 7.2k but this time I took it up to about 8 and got lock out, oh well.
Heres the issue, everything went perfect at the track, no mis shifts, no harsh launches, nothing. Then I leave the track, get on the main road and I CANT get it into 5th! I didnt put it in 5th one time at the track? 1st and 3rd are fine? It doesnt grind when I try, its just like their is a big *** wall their, lol. I wanna hope it could be a shifter cable, but then it would be all the gears associated with that cable. So I dunno. Could it be the ForK? The clutch engages and disengages fine, its adjusted fine, it just wont go in 5th. Any and all help appreciated!
btw I hate being at 3700ft
. Ended up running a 12.5 with a sh!tty 60ft and All season tires, lol.

Check you linkage for any bending. If your trans. will not go into 5th with to engine off you have bent something. No noises from the trans.? Check linkage very carefully. Check your shifter bushings as well. GL!
