Can’t shift into 2nd at higher rpms

Anyone on here who has said they were trying the cmc and slave kit have any updates? Has it helped? I’m having the same issue now but only with 2nd gear. And not always. Most of the time it shifts fine into 2nd even when pushing past 6k shifts but every once in a while when I go to grab 2nd, it just doesn’t want to go in. It doesn’t grind, it just won’t go in until I let the revs drop then it goes in again and it’s like it never happened. Any updates would be highly appreciated before I go spending money on stuff I don’t need lol
 
CMC & Slave upgrade should fix your problem - do some research, your only other option is take it to a trans shop and have them diagnose it, I think trying the parts would be cheaper esp if you do it yourself! They’re not that expensive.
IF that doesn’t fix it then you know you’ve got bigger problems
Yea I really think the cmc and slave will help a lot because it never grinds or has issues going into 2nd when just normally driving. Only when I get a little too aggressive with it and that’s only once in a blue at that.
