Sorry for poor explaination,hope you people out there can help me to solve this problem.Thank you.
Mine was doing the opposite recently, slipping in 1st gear. The one-way slipping. I don't know what to think of second gear slipping. Once the two-speed shoes grab the sees like it should go...curious to find out from the more experienced on here.

On another note i received my ED tranny from Raceday today. I can't wait to get it installed. We should be racing this weekend so I hope to give it a go. The kit is nicer than I expected. First, in the picture it is displayed with out the pinion for first gear so I ordered a 16t. It actually has one included so now I have a spare. The quality is top notch with all the pulleys lightened and hard coated black. Looks great.

Forgot to mention the clutchbell has the hole next to 2nd gear pinion for spring tension adjustment. No more hassle of having to remove the 1st spur and clutchbell for adjustments. I was lazy, and as long as it was close I would just leave it. Now I should be able to fine tune the clutch easier.No excuse.
