Metric T-200, reverse valve body. Trans shifts fine 1-2 but 2-3 shift does not shift solid and rpm flares momentarily....once it shifts, 3rd gear is ok
At the moment I don't have a playback tach configured to visibly confirm this and am going by what I hear. I just raced this car for the first time and it's one I owned back in 2005-2007 and have driven a couple times back in 2011. Never recall having an issue like this. Don't know who built the trans in the car and does not have E-shift..... I have to re-check the fluid level but thought it was ok..... Since it's a reverse shift pattern, it can't be a a shifter cable adjustment issue in my thinking Any ideas from T-200 users ?

Had this issue with my first 200 changed builders much reduced
Trans builders will know more was told this is something that is inherent. Would think fluid pressure others will know more.

I had a similar issue, only with the 1-2 shift. Ended up being the wrong dipstick tube. I only thought it was full.

I’ve talked to the previous owner about the issue.
He says it’s always done it and I do know who does transmissions for him but don’t know what valve body he uses. I spoke with 2 other metric users and their experiences with this issue and more importantly the builders that do them and their units do NOT do it. There is no trans cooler I will check the fluid later today and see what it looks like I pretty much am stuck with what I have for now and will make some calls about future possibilities.
