problem shifting at redline
I've been having a problem with my FD, when I redline it in 2nd and shift to 3rd it goes into gear but is like there's no gear. its happened a few times, my clutch line blew and i thought that might have been the problem but it happened again today when i tried. it goes into gear and takes some effort to pop it out, if I just try pushing in the clutch again it doesnt grab until i pop it out of gear then it will work fine shifting casually. when it first happened i thought i blew my trans but theres no grinding or anything
would my throwout bearing be sticking when i shift hard. lubing up the input shaft is pretty much my only idea so far
has act clutch and flywheel i just put in 6500kms ago worked fine up until a month or 2 ago

third gear works fine except when i redline in 2nd and shift fast into 3rd, if it was a transmission problem it would make some kind of noise???, its quiet and shifts smooth, its like my clutch doesnt engage or something till i pop it out of gear

The transmission has many components that could go out. Ive popped a gear out of my tranny (literally) in a saab and was mysteriously still able to drive home without any weird noises. I would double check your clutch as well. Perhaps its installed wrong or is defective.
