My dc2r is having some issues with its gearbox. Shifting up through gears is silly smooth but I can't downshift into 2nd unless the car is stopped.
Reverse is also funny. It won't roll in gear with the clutch engaged and little to no throttle, it's also very difficult to get out of reverse.
It does sound like the thrust bearing or pressure plate is on it's way out as it rattles when idling and the clutch is engaged. I think the previous owner may have sat at the lights with the clutch in.
It's only recently started and the gearbox has always had honda mtf changed every 10,000km and I've very rarely done red line shifting from first to second.
Any ideas what could be wrong before I take it to a mechanic??
