I drive a 98 vtir manual prelude.
I just recently noticed that 2nd gear in very sluggish and dead flat at low speeds/rpm ( < 2800rpm)
For instance, while in 2nd gear at around 10-15km which equates to around 1500rpm, the acceleration is very poor. Even at WOT, you can hear the drone in the exhaust. The rpm needle very slowly makes its way to 2500rpm before a bit of life comes into the engine again.
This is very annoying especially when coming out of roundabout exists, trying to take off after slowing down at a T intersection. It either forces me to shift back into first or rev more than i want to in first to ensure that when i shift to 2nd it stays around 2500-2800rpm.
This doesnt happen for 1st gear in that rev range. Only 2nd.
Does it sound like there is something wrong? Is there something i can do about this?
