Hands Up - Dc5r Second Gear Notchy When Cold!

[obsessionz]

Hi guys, was wondering if anyone has actually followed this issue up with honda? I want to see what honda suggestion is etc ... im thinking of changing the 5, 6 syncros to the revised ones but im waiting to someone to get it fixed under warranty first let me know if anyone is going to get it fixed... The colder winter gets the worst it gets ...

Thanks...

yes i know problem. whenever i first drive mine i notice this too however i think its with all gears when cold. once the car has been warmed up and driven around a bit its fine. pretty sure its just the transmission fluid needing to warm up a bit to do its job.

how does yours go after you ahve driven for say 15 - 20 minutes? if you still notice it after that then it may be something else?

its ok after 15-20mins but thats the whole time it takes me to get to work .... thats ridicilous .... and i even let it warm up for 10 mins in the morning .... so the whole way to work its notchy and grinds..

[qstoria]

well i rekon in your case its a good thing that it doesnt stay like that all the time. not saying its good that it takes that long in general but i dont think there is any damage done to your gearbox.

how many kms on the car?

wow thats low k's
did you buy it new?

[JetSir]

got it since it was 6000kms dont drive it much. Only weekend

nice, youve got a pretty good chance of it being under warranty still. if it is the 800-900 for the extended warranty is pretty good piece of mind hey.

i got mine when it was still under warranty, and i bought the extended warranty too, which i am not getting some work done on the gearbox under.

i will post up with some info once the work is done.

type S is different gear box .. might have a different problem to Type R our gear box is hard to select 2nd gear from gearing down from 3rd it feels notchy... and from 1st to second sometimes will grind ... its more a notchy issue doesnt go in smooth at all you can feel it rubbing against other metal bits ....

maybe you should let it warm up for 5 minutes.

S2K dont need to but most still let it warm up and then let the gear oil wear in as well.

maybe you should get a s2k ?
