My late model tranny has a ripper & the same problem as yours, so the Ripper won't fix it. I think it's the blocker (syncro) rings. I'm going to have XR7Dave look at mine this summer. Mine hangs up for 2 seconds between shifts. No grinding, just this unbearable hang time.SuperDad said:I have a 95 SC with a 5 spd. When shifting into 2nd gear, it gets cought up alot. Does anyone know if the b & M ripper shifter helps that situation (making it smoother) or could it be my tranny?
