sounds like you have a cracked oil gallery and its not engaging the gear properly, or it might be the valve body playing up. How longs it been doing this? does it slip in other gears? what happens in third and reverse? checked oil levels?

How longs it been doing this? does it slip in other gears? what happens in third and reverse? checked oil levels? I raced a bloke last night then stopped at a few light and changin down gears with no problems and then I got to a service station and went down to 2nd and ended up side ways in the place..then took off in 1st.. not sure about 3rd. i think 3rd could be stuffed as well. I got reverse and neutral, and feels like its going into gears but soon as I try take off in 2nd on a stand still (to scared to do it moving) it will creep foward and then take my foot off the trottle and it will roll backwards a lil bit? fuild levels are good, mind you this box only got rebuilt 2months ago
