Hello,
I have a 2026 GT I purchased back in March.
I am at 3000miles and it is my daily driver. About a month or so ago I noticed when downshifting from 3-2 it would lock me out and this is at low speeds like 20-30mph so the rpm was only jumping to like 4k. I am not getting any grinding it just like I hit a wall and it doesnt let me in.
That is when I do it with a slight spirited movement. Not like I am doing a crazy fast downshift just a little quicker movement.
If I do my downshift from 3-2 but I go slow I have no issues with the gear change. I also never have any issues when shifting 1-2 its only on the downshift
I did the transmission mount bushing shortly after I got the car and 2weeks ago I changed the BG syncro shift cocktail and last week i did the steeda Shifter bushing mount hoping both those items would fix the issue. I feel like it happens more often after the steeda mount. Which makes me think could it be the shifter alignment somewhere. I hav emailed Steeda as well.
I am not sure if its the transmission having problems or if this is a shifter issue having some binding problems. I see alot of post of lockout at high RPM but mine is all at low rpm and downshifting
I cant say I remember having any problems with my 2012 GT back in the day.
Thanks
