The car shifts butter smooth from 2nd to 3rd to 4th to 5th.....butter meaning effortlessly smooth..no clutch pick up jerkiness. I hope it's the hot weather thats causing this, or it could the drag r*ce i had with an STI the other day...



So any GSRs feeling extra buttery smooth gear shifts?

 

?
you're still having grinding issues ?
mine's been shifting just fine after 2000kms and it's been shifting smooth as silk since then

 

not grinding.... my car's at 48k. You know when you do quick shifts and releasing the clutch quickly, it usually gives a slight rock or "jerk". I've been doing quick shifts today and yesterday and the jerk is completely gone...the car goes in 1st to 2nd with no jerk...2nd to 3rd no jerk....I don't know if it's smooth because of the hot weather heating everything up or it's my clutch getting weaker.

 

hmm..nope no issues regardless of how fast i let off the clutch

 

no jerk? you know that newbie shift jerk "rock'n back and forth" jerk? or should i say the jerk you get driving a manual car.....LOL

 

lol I haven't had that issue for awhile..I just thought I was getting better at driving

i'm heading out for lunch so I'll go for a test drive and let you know

 

lol let me know man...im worried!!

 

lol
i drove it around downtown in stop and go traffic and going from first to second was smooth..but that's usual...no pull or jerk at all...

lol damn now you got me worried about my clutch

 

MR......... every gear is smooth baby.

 

usually there should be a slight tug doesn't matter how slow you release the clutch from 1st to 2nd...I need more ppl to comfirm this man!!! where is all the GSR dudes?

 

mine in the winter was notchy but now is butter smooth to. I think its just the weather, now that its hot the oil in the tranny is moving better then when its cold

 

I have an VIII, but can tell you with the warmer weather my car shifts smooth. When the trans fluid is cold it's notchy and jerks between shifts like a biotch. You should be fine.

 

God bless you guys...thanks! Thought I broke something during the dr*g with an STI lol

 

Hey Drew, With the warmer weather now, your fluids are usually always warmed up and good to go. That seems to be the main cause as we have had a few calls in about the same situation your describing. Your GSR is fine however but keep an ear out for knocking sounds that dont sound normal from day to day use. A quick inspection might also be an alright idea!
