Default Transmission Questions

Hey guys,

I have an 02 ZO6 and recently had a heads/cam package put on it. The rev limiter was bumped to 7100 rpm. I like to powershift the car most of the time. Recently I was racing a friend and when I powershifted into 4th the shifter actually got stuck in 4th gear. I had my transmission fixed at a local chevy dealer that I always go to. The car had the stock shifter on it when it broke and after the repair. Now, I can powershift into 2nd and 3rd, but it won't go into 4th. It does not grind or anything. Its like it is just blocking it out of 4th gear.

Has this happened to anyone else? I've never had a problem shifting the car before so I don't think it's me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Harshil.

If they didn't repair it right then they need to try again.
