Has anyone had aproblem when driving fast i.e.speeding or racing on freeway
i have on a few more than 5 times had to double clutch to down shift. I was just wondering if any one had seen this . this has only happened when driving hard
in traffic just tryn to get movn , one thing i have noticed is down shifting from 5th to 4th if i pull back its like 4th is not there but if i go back and slightly to the left it is there and other times no problem just wondern

 

i had problem from 2nd -> 3rd....not 5th->4th tho :?:

 

why are you downshifting to fourth on the freeway?

 

to slow down
to speed up

 

The tranny on this car has a lot to be desired. Its def not as smooth as it could be. Granted its nothing remotely close to the tranny on my s2000 but its still nothing clse to my brothers tranny in his 02 civic si. 3rd gear almost never activates without a click and sometimes it even pops when shifting to 2nd.

No real complaints from me though. Im hoping that the OEM MTF is complete junk. Gonna switch to Honda MTF in a few more K miles.

 

I have had the same problems from 2nd to 3rd but I think it was only a problem once going from 5th to 4th. remember that our trannys are geared low so it could be because of that, or maybe that we are first generation scions. not realy sure, :?
