Recently purchased a 99 s2k and finding the gearbox to be abit notchy...
I mean I find it difficult changing from 1st to second and second to third at lower revs. But I've noticed if I rev abit higher (say 4k or above) gear changes are smoother? Not smooth as previous teggy type r.
Am I alone here? Can other s2k owners comment?
Also recently changed gearbox oil as well to redline lightweight shockproof. Helped abit but the stiffness is still there.
Thanks.
Just don't shift til after 4k! Sheesh it's an s2k!
lol sorry, couldn't help that one...

Have you guys tried to drive an s2k at peak hour in melbourne ? heheh
Anyone else?
for smooth driving or shifting it is recommended that you shift between 3-4k, there have been times where i have shifted at 2k and the car jerks. Its just that way the car is. It loves to be revvedQuote:

Quite often hear the clunking noise when it engages into second and third ..
Maybe cos I'm not used to it yet .. coming from a teg tye r where the gear changes are really smooth.
Dont Worry about it! i was the same as u when i first got the car for a month or two but after when u get use to the car it's all good!!! it's just the way the car is!! :)
time for new honda mtf
try shifting slower,
hard to explain but as your put gentle pressure towards 2nd gear or from 2nd to 3rd, you will feal the gear suddenly want to engage.
I get that when I don't warm the car up.
After it's warmed up..it's all schweet.
Or maybe I'm just used to it already and don't notice it. :p
I don't shift my ITR under 3-3500rpm not to talk about S2K
Thanks guys ...
I find it worse when trying to shift slower! :)
I think I just need to adjust to the s2k bix that's all..
Like I said, it's fine when you rev higher.
