My DC5R has had the common second gear crunch ever since i brought the car 3 years ago. Recently i decided to teach myself how to double clutch (releasing and depressing the clutch when in neutral during a gear change) the crunch is now much less noticeable and if done correctly, disappears all together.
Hope this helps anyone who has a similar gear crunch problem.
Down changing requires some heel-toe action, which iam yet to master.
Best post ever !
Especially the double clutching !!!!!
** Bump for the best post ever **
Yep... you should get an award for it.
Never really thought of it before... but you only really double clutch when your driving the car hard (Changing at high revs), and never really get the crunch. When your driving around like a granny, double clutching isn't needed, and you get the crunch.
Well done sir.
yay for double clutching!
im assuming the matching of flywheel and gearbox speeds makes the crunch vanish..
is this dc5 crunch thing only happen on downshifts?
:slapshead

Well done mate. If I had an award for post of a lifetime, you sure would be holding it in your very own clever hands. You are such a clever cookie! I can't stress how proud I am of you.
Your mother raised you well. Must be eating alot of Warnuts!
WOW soo smart.. i'm amazed.
Start a new thread when you learn how to heel toe. Perhaps an D.I.Y thread would be in order for that. If you want to learn, a very able member of Ozhonda.. I think his name is Chi, would be able to teach you.
are you guys ****ing around?
come on, the guy was just tryin 2 give an insight into his world. dont do this 2 him, its just not ethical. :) they just just takin the piss man, dont take it 2 heart
^^ what he said...kinda ruin the whole forum. got nothin nice to say dont say it.

You're an idiot then if you thought it was a good idea.
stop being slack chi, farrk its the guys 2nd post lol
Chi your so mean man! Get a life man.
I was actually being serious. :D
Doesn't crunching usually mean your syncros are worn out?
Yes, or for example you could be using hektic racing gearbox oil that is meant for higher temps. Then on the street when the box is cold... it'll crunch.Quote:
