Hi,
New to site!! Just bought a 2006 S2K. Noticed that shifting into 2nd and 3rd gear is a little notchy, sometimes sharp click and grabs. Took it to dealer and the service manager drove it and said it is fine.
Anybody else noticed this?? If so, what can be done!!

is it always like that? Mine does that when its cold but when it warms up it smooths out.

Like the other guy said. Mine can be notchy when cold but fine after about 15 min to let the tranny warm up.

After warming up, then it becomes tempermental!! Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't!! More often, it is notchy and grabs.

My 01' feels exactly like this.."wheeew" I thought something was broken or etc. It's not very smooth on 2-3rd etc. unless you shift at 5k. ugghhh I think I can live with it.

Yeah its normal, if you want just change out the oil and it will be a little better.

Rev higher before shifting. You are driving a vtec now. Run her like the beast she is!

yes, it's normal. and today mine was real tempermental.

i notice this also helps too.

another thing you can try, is take it through vtec 1-2 gears and afterwards, it should shift alot smoother into gears.

My '05 shifts into 2nd very hard when it's cold, but once it's warmed up it feels like the trany is made out of warm chocolate pudding. mmmmm.

Our transmission shifts smoother at higher revs, and not so much at lower revs.

Try shifting slower when it's cold to allow the synchros time to slow down the trany. Then when it's warmed up you shouldn't be shifting lower then 6K anyway
