track day problems, 4th to 5th - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I had her at VIR and had a problem with up shifting to 5th. 5000 to 5500 in 4th trying to shift to 5th and she would not go. It was like CAGs or something was blocking me. No grinding or anything , she simply would not go into 5th. Sometimes I could get her into 6th. Once in the high gears, downshifting was no problem. Double clutching did not help. I remember running C5s at a school there and we had to hesitate slightly from 4th to 5th orit would bind also. Different animal but same symtom.Any ideas?
She also developed a popping at 5000 in 4th. Sounded like at my feet- maybe exhaust leak or cats popping or spark issue.
Exhaust is Corsa. All else stock.
