is there a reason why it has always been hard to shift into second with my 5 spd? i know jeep trannies aren't made for racing, but when i shift at higher rpms when wheelin it gets harder to shift. anyone else have this problem? could it be that the tranny is building more pressure at higher rpm rendering the stock vent inadequate to release the pressure? i also have a hurst short shifter is that means anything. thanks
 
I have a different problem with 2nd. It's more like 1 1/2 gear not second.
I can easily go from 1st to 3rd (on road) and not need 2nd.

To properly use 2nd I would need to push in clutch to go from 1st to 2nd then take a very pregnant pause to let RPM come down. If not 2nd is like a lower rev of 1st.
