Upshifting from 1 to 2 in my car has always been touchy. When done perfectly it is smooth, but it is more difficult to nail than the other gears which I get perfect 99% of the time. The roughness has always been with rev matching and clutch engagement though, never with the shift itself.
Recently though, over the last few weeks, I will notice an occasional "crunch" feeling in the shifter when I go into second. This is true on upshift and downshift. It does not happen every time and despite my methodical attempts to do so, i have not been able to pinpoint specific worsening or relieving factors.
Gear boxes are a weakness for me. Help a brother out. Do I feel this just because I have a short shifter now and everything is "amplified"? Do I need to change fluid? If fluid change didn't work then consider 2nd gear detent mod? If this doesn't work, plan on using it for my next boat anchor?
Fwiw, I don't pussy foot around on shifts. I don't slap shift or side step the clutch, but I drive it like I stole it every day of the week (I've heard this is good for the IMS
).
