Well, i had to get my car ready for the pits so i thought id put the shift kit in a "friendlier" location this including cutting and relengthing the wires etc. i made sure the battery was disconnected etc. anywayz i drove around abit, bout 150 k's with no probs then straight after i passed the pits (yay) i was cruising down leach hwy at about 80 and the f**k decided it wants to be in first gear running at about 3 grand!!! so i quickly pulled over turned the car off and restarted it and this seemed to fix the problem - temporarily. So i get home pull the shift kit apart check all the wires etc and one of them was a bit loose - so i resoldered that one took it for a drive and well the gearbox doesnt wanna change out of first gear. So pretty much im up s**t creek without a paddle. If anyone has ANY idea wats wrong PLEAAASEEE help. and even if u read all of this crap i thank u enuf.
