The the OP . . . you stated that you "tried to launch at around 4500 no higher and then went to shift into second . . ." Am I to understand that you held the clutch pedal in at 4500 then dumped it directly from neutral to 2nd gear? Or did you start off in 1st gear? I guess what I'm trying to figure out is what rpm you were at when you shifted into 2nd, and from which gear. Presumably, you would have shifted into 2nd from 1st, but the way you wrote it kinda makes it sound like you skipped 1st gear altogether and tried launching straight from 2nd.
