My gearbox doesn't hold the second gear when dragracing.
Everything is warmed up and I always do a 1 sec burnout just to remove dirt from the tires.
I have tuned the govenor with lighter springs and weights, instruction tells it should be possible to hold the gears longer if doing so.
Modulator is new and also tuned, but I don't think it will have anything to do with this problem.
I have also installd a B&M shiftkit.
At the line I hold the car at 1800 rpm before take off.
First gear pulls fine up to 6500 rpm.
Then I shift manually to second gear.
But two of three times the gearbox itself goes directly up to the third gear and the race is lost as I loose the power and must build it up again.
The gearbox is except for the govenor, modulator and shift kit pure stock.
What is wrong? Can it be so that the speed is to high when I upshift from first to second?
Or is it time for a big rebuild of my gerbox?
I don't know nearly anything about gearboxes so you have to guide me here!
