DC5R second gear not going in properly

[destrukshn]

maen i just called autobarn to get redline oils for my clutch change and maybe brakes they said they dont have it...

what exactly should i ask for LOL

i asked for redline brake/transmission oil

brake and clutch fluid is the same.
transmission fluid is different.

you can you use castrol 5.1dot fluid, good stuff, for the brake and clutch fluid.

It's not brake/clutch fluid. It's manual transmission fluid and it goes into your gearbox.

Just use Honda brake fluid. If you can't get that, then Castrol DOT4 super response is good and reasonably priced. DOT5.1 absorbs moisture quicker than DOT4.

http://www.redlineoil.com.au <<< click here to see where there stockist are ... use Redline shock proof light gear box oil... your gear box notchy when cold?

[XP02ED]

yeh btu i guess i havent changed it since i bought it, the guy didint service it been about 11000ks so i think i should change it this weekend.

redline is abit dear though 130 for 4 litres ;S
ill try honda directly then try other oils

$14.80 a litre for transmission oil!

while im at it whats good brake/clutch fluid? redline as well? or OEM is fine?

[mugsee]

I'd actually go the Redline MTL over the lightweight shockproof and I'd also reccomend Royal Purple which is around the same price as Redline.

PM me for prices on both oils.

wrong section ...

[TiaN]

yup. happened to my DC5R as well. esp more so when cold, it was an absolute bitch to shift into 2nd from 1st.

[obsessionz]

how about from 3rd into 2nd down shifting when cold?

[didz]

My dc5r is fine for me. it has grinded a couple of times but thats because i tend to try and shift too fast. all of my gears move smoothly and i have found that quick shifting is also smooth as long as my foot is on the clutch when i try to change lol! timing is the key! But someone mentioned engine mounts? it makes a bit of sense. Best bet is to call honda and ask them is it a certified "common" problem.
