Default lost 1st & 2nd Gear?!

i was racing yesterday & we did 4 pulls
the 1st & 2nd pulls i miss shifted into 2nd, after the 1st pull i felt it's really hard to insert it into 1st gear,

so after the 4th pull i couldn't put the 1st or 2nd gear, i feel that there is no room for the 1st & 2nd gear, it feels like something is stuck down there

turned off the car & same thing!

so the cops came & i launched on 3rd gear

my car has InlinePro kit & the clutch is CC stage 4 6 puck along with their flywheel,

i also did not break in the clutch (could be the problem?)

i dont know if i have AP1 or AP2 transmission cuz my car looks like AP2 from the outside, but the VIN says AP1 MY05 & it has the F20C2 (euro spec)

the good thing is that even when i miss shifted i was catching up
it was a built Camaro with full slicks & some sort of short ratio transmission,

is it the clutch? or maybe something is bend inside?

please help, im getting married tomorrow so this happened in the worse time

I almost have the same problem but with 3rd gear, I feel like I have to slam it into 3rd in order for it to catch.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but, congrats on getting married.

When you say you misshifted to 2nd, was it a 3-2nd instead of 3-4 misshift? This happened two times?

Also, why didn't you break in the clutch?

Also I believe EURO s2k's used the f20c up until 06 if I'm correct.

no it was from 1st to 2nd but it didnt engage,

i didnt break in the clutch cuz during tuning we were pulling hard & shifting fast,

I might be way off base here but I'd change the transmission fluid and check the old fluid for metal particals.
