Old post but I've been having issues with my shifter for a while now. After my friend installed my new clutch kit the shifting is really rough. Going from first to second isnt smooth. It grinds going into 3rd and 5th sometimes, especially at high rpm, and occasionally will not go into 1st and reverse. I have to let go of the clutch and try again. Just gotta slam it in there sometimes. My friend told me to replace the shifter cable but is there a way to fix it? I'm not sure what you mean by routing but can it be rerouted?
