wat does it matter clutch can be all the way in and when i go to put it into second only when car is cold ... wont go in smoothly have to fight wit it...
go to a honda dealer and ask to speak to the head mechanic about your problem.
You seem to be the only DC5r owner that realy "cares" about the problem, most of us are fine with just changing the gearbox oil ever few thousand K's. As i have heard of people going from OEM to aftermarket and the problem going away.

Because if your clutch bite point is low at the ground, then it could be the clutch not disengaging fully to allow you a shift into 2nd. Just covering every possible cause.
It's a good chance that one of your engine mounts are gone. I know it feels like its your gearbox which it is, but it's caused by the vibration of the engine. Factory DC5R mounts are only so strong but will easily sh*t themselves if launched too hard or quickshifting gears. I have come across this problem. Twice!! It's a good chance that it's either your front crossmember mount or gearbox mount. Once the mount goes, the engine movement during acceleration is quite drastic. You should really check this out.
P.S. I use Redline Shockproof and it's Gold mate. No need to change after 10 000 klms but it is recommended by Honda to be changed every 60k if being put under extreme pressure.
Yeh,
I’ve been having a bit of a problem too with sometimes hard to select gears.
The car (DC5S) was due for a service today, told the Honda dealer about it, all they done was changed the gear box oil.
It seems to change better now a lot smoother than before. Lets see how long this will last?
I remember having this problem when I 1st got my DC5R, 1st >6000+rpm, bam 2nd!! CruNch Crunch....****
then i got use to it....... I don't know when last i have grinded/missed/failed 2nd gear but for some reason after driving it this way for so many years I believe i've adapted and learned what not to do.

Its always like that, after service the shifts feel good but like a month or two after - its doing it again. (and I'm shifting over 3k revs where it engages well).
I'll probably raise this with Panda again at the next service.
