Trouble Shifting W/O Clutch

(1/2) > >>

ZForceRacing01:
So last year at the Nationals I started shifting W/O the clutch on restarts. We would start in 2nd, then shift 3rd and 4th. All through Nationals I would rev her out, burp the throttle while I pulled the next gear and got back on the gas again.

Last week I just couldn't get her to shift without the clutch. Just seems weird,

Any ideas?

Legends16:
Worn or damage clutch discs?

I have experience shifting issues when my fiction dics were on there way out.

Everything good an tight on the linkage?

Also check the shifter shaft entering the motor. Make sure the clip is there and straight.

Earnst85:
Do you have the aluminum block or steel lever shift linkage?

The aluminum blocks' splines tend to strip and makes it difficult to shift. Eventually it will not shift at all.

I had this happen 3+ years ago and switched to the steel lever. I have never had an issue since.

Here is the steel shift lever:
