Hi you s2000 experts out there.. just got a question for y'all. Just wondering if it is normal for the gear 1 to be sometimes locked out when ur at a complete stop or your rolling to a stop. I find that i sometimes have to quickly shift to gear 2 first before it will alloq me to go into gear 1. Its quite annoying really and was wondering if you guys out there are having the same problem.

Cheers.

 

i would like to know too..

 

Sounds like it's time to change your tranny fluid.

 

Sorry but I'm a new owner of s2k... how would i do that?

Cheers

 

It's like changing the oil, Instead of letting the oil pan drain, You let the tranny fluid drain, Then there is usually a side fill.. If you don't know what the tranny looks like, bring it in to a mechanic...

 

I find that blipping the throttle helps alot when trying the 2 to 1 downshift while moving. I don't know if you regularly rev match on downshifts though.

 

a friend of mine just told me all hondas are like that and that its normal... wonder if u guys r experiencing the same kinda thing

 

Nope, not normal imo, I haven't got that issue at all, I can put in 1st everytime, or standing still or coming from 2nd gear all day long.

 

every manual honda ive owned has done it...what i usually do is just press the clutch twice

 

I can kind of feel it clunk into first from a roll in my brand new 07. Im almost positive it is just a Honda thing. Your not really supposed to downshift to 1st though. just go into second and the press the clutch and brake normal. once your stopped then go to first.
