Second Gear Clunkiness

slimjim8201 · 06-22-2005, 07:27 PM

Anyone else find shifting into second gear a little awkward at low engine revs? My Integra used to do the same thing...must be Hondas in general. Seems to engage great at higher revs, in fact the whole powertrain is smoother at higher revs. No suprise there, given that this car is built that way. Just wondering if anyone else experienced the occasional clunking when short shifting into second.

Yup, happens in 2nd and 3rd quite often. Once it's warmed up tends to go away. From what I've learned, this is not un-common for S2K's so no need for concern.
