Hi all Civic 8th manual drivers, just wondering how is your experience with this car's gearbox?

I find the gear shifting is very rough, I can feel the car bump when I shift up, eg: 1 -> 2 etc. 1 to 2 is the worst.

Also on every gear when driving, if I totally release the accelerator and press it again, even slightly, I can feel a small bump too, feels like a gear backlash. To maintain the smoothness, I need to at least keep the throttle on a little bit.

Anyone having the similar experience?

Cheers.

i get that too sometimes if i change gears a bit quick also. This question a bit off topic but i want to know what is the main chassis difference between the the vti fd1 civic and the jdm fd2 ctr monster. is there any major difference???

^ the width at the front is apparently wider... so for instance the ctr bumper would not fit without modification. Not too sure what else.
