C-4 locking up in third gear

Is this a full manual VB from a company or one you made using like a TransGo kit? By chance did you swap in a late model VB into an early model case? Did you take apart the VB before installing it?

If the VB was sold to you by a company, have you tried calling their tech line?

I have never ran into something like this. Just from the way it sounds, you are going into two gears at once and could be a VB problem.

How was your clutch pack clearances? On the tight side? What about internal play between the front pump and the rear of the case? Tight? Loose? What about end play as measured on the input shaft?
