My Hurst 1/4 stick with air operated shifting, would sometimes go from 1st right to 3rd. Took a while to find, but the blocker air solenoid was going bad. Replaced the blocker air solenoid, and mine worked good.

I use a CO2 system with a B&M ratchet shifter, NEVER had a miss or over shift. The shifter can't get to the next gear until pressure is released and the shifter can come back a bit to reset for the next gear. It has been fool proof for eighteen years.

I've had my PPP shifter installed for two years w/CO2. It works great and so far I haven't had that problem.
I took out one of those Cheetah shifters to put in my PPP.
I called and talked to Paul at length about this shifter (SCS) and of course my "issue" was unheard of, but I know even my dad has gone 1-3 on this shifter manually as have a lot of others I've run into over the years with the SCS. Personally....If I was going air shift and was looking at the $450 "E controller" vs the $600 for the PPP.... I guess at that point I'd choke and go the PPP route..... or try modifying the rooster comb.... for free . I was on the phone ready to order a PPP, but the guy I was talking to about them about made my head explode, so I went back and figured I'd try and reinvent the wheel.

You need to take out 1 of the springs that forces the handle over. The Dedenbear instruction made that very clear. If you bought a different C02 they probably didn't know. Same thing happen to a buddy of mine took it apart at the track removed the spring his has worked perfectly every time important on a 7.50 car. I am having the same problem (shifting 1st to 3rd) with the Cheetah SCS shifter, CRT RMVB and C02 shifter in the Daytona. I just read and re-read the instructions from Dedenbear and Turbo Action and I see nothing about removing a spring?

I had nothing but problems with my cheetah shifter, I'd pull from 1st to 3rd, yeah I know, my problem
So I bought a CO2 shifter and the plunger mushroomed over, do a search. I pulled it all out and went to a pro ratchet Problem solved.

Make sure you guys are running a minimum of 110lbs. to the solenoid. I agree. Last time out I ran low on pressure (80 psi) and it shifted 1st to 3rd 2 runs in a row.

WOW I posted this in 2015 sold car 2 years ago Yeah. I did a Google search and found it. Thought it would be good to revive it and see if I could get help figuring it out.
