    1-2 and 3-4 gear change crunchy

    As the thread title states.......crunchy.

    I consider myself to be a pretty good driver but this S2k box is tricky. On a fast shift from 1-2 or 3-4 at 7000+rpm its very easy to crunch a gear. I am changing all the fluidds this weekend so hopefully it goes away. Is there a known problem with this? If I slow the shift slightly I can get through it but the engine goes off the boil and almost out of VTEC on the shift. I can actually shift faster ACROSS the gate, ie 2-3 than I can from 1-2 or 3-4.

    The car was a one owner 50 ish year old guy who didn't even know what VTEC was much less rev it over 5k!

    I race a 1G ZC CRX and have a few others so plenty of experience but this has me confused???

    Thanks guys,

    James.

    48000km. I just replaced the clutch. It did it before the clutch change. But it seems like am not shifting as fast as I would like.

    why did it need a clutch change at 48000km?

    most s2ks i know last to 100,000km or more on the stock clutch

    No idea, it was just weak. Slipped once or twice while I was driving very hard up Arthurs Seat in Vic. (A nice twisty hillclimb). Decided to throw in an Exedy H/duty while I changed the exhaust. Drives much better now.

    Haha no. Infact one of the reasons he sold it. Son just turned 18 and couldn't drive a manual!

    It's an honest car. Perhaps I scared the stock clutch away when I got hold of it????
