I was at the track tonight making a few passes. I hotlapped the car a few times and on the last pass I came off the line hard. When I went to shift into 2nd, it grinded. Which in itself is nothing new. I'm still running the stock clutch and it's getting pretty weak. If the clutch pedal isn't fully engaged and to the floor, it will cause me to grind.
So after grinding 2nd, I went to go to 3rd. When I let off the clutch it banged rev limiter a few times like the gear wasn't engaged. So I went to 4th, which took, and eased the rest of the way down the track.
At first I suspected that the clutch had taken a giant shit and grenaded lol. But, after driving it around, the clutch feels just like it always has. No slipping at all that I can tell. It is weak however, as you can feel it on normal take off.
Now, my question is, could I have bent or damaged a shifter component? Like I said, 2nd gear at a high rpm has always been a bitch in that car.
It's just odd to me that all that shit could happen, yet the clutch feels normal and I couldn't smell it burning.
I'll also note that the shifter feels very notchy after the incident. It doesn't feel normal at all.
I'm at a loss guys.
