Found out I had the wrong gear the whole time (at the tranny)! It had the right amount of teeth but it was reversed from what the Tremec wanted. Might want to double check that
Thanks, I'll check the gear to be sure, but I think I just have a worn cable...I have about 6000 miles on the car and this problem surfaced about 100 miles ago. It never had a problem prior to that.
