shifting

  1. Let clutch out in one motion or pause at bite point for a second when upshifting?

    Apologies if this has already been discussed on the forum, but I can't seem to find a very clear answer. I've had my 2020 Si, my first manual, for about a month now and I'm loving it, but I'm seeing a lot of conflicting information on upshifting smoothly. I watched this video by Conquer Driving...
  2. Gas fill up then stutter while upshifting.

    I own a 2019 civic si coupe. Currently running the ktuner starter 21.5 tune, every time I fill up my gas tank and drive, I get weird shutters while upshifitng or completely letting off accelerator, however when I drive for a minute, shut the car off and go again, the issue goes away until I fill...
  3. Shifting Clunk/Clack - Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF)?

    Sometimes, I have a very slight metallic, springy, clunk/clack sound from the engine/transmission area when upshifting from first to second gear at the moment I clutch out to the bite point. This has been happening for a while now, usually once within the first few shifts of the day. It happens...
  4. Trans concern

    Hey guys so I was just driving my car normally and I was at a complete stop, put the car in first and started taking off when all of a sudden the car shot back to neutral by itself, this has never happened before, what could have caused this? I do have a stage 2 acuity shift kit installed but...
  5. How to properly shift smoothly (mainly 1st to 2nd)

    Hi all, I just wanted to know if the way our cars are made makes it difficult to smoothly shift between gears (mainly between 1st and 2nd). My son says I shift pretty jerky in comparison to the way one of our family friends does when he drives. I told him that it's probably because his car is...

  7. Rev match question about up-shifts

    So first of all, I love the rev match feature and keep it on because I'm lazy and don't like to bother with heel-toe. That being said, I'm sort of having the opposite problem with it now. During my commute, I often like to do spirited starts, which involves revving it out in 2nd/3rd gear, then...
  8. Rpm shift point

    Hey Guys, Was just wondering at what rpm you guys shift at? In my 2005 civic i used to always shift below 3000rpms. With the new 2018 Si I was wondering if I should do the same or if i can go higher comfortably! I dont want to wear out my transmission either. Thanks Guys, -Daniel
  9. What is your shifting preference?

    I don't really pay attention to speed until I get to cruising speed. I usually shift around the 2,800 RPM range. On the highway/interstate, I shift into 5th at my desired speed and cruise if the speed limit is 55 or below. If it is higher I will go to 6th and cruise. I never accelerate more...

  11. Cruise control while shifting (6MT)

    Sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum. In my previous cars, depressing the clutch would deactivate the cruise control when it was set. Did you guys know, the Civic is able to let you shift through gears while it's in cruise control? For example, I was driving down the freeway at...
  12. Clunky Shifts, Reverse and 1st Gear Lock outs

    I’ve had my ‘17 Civic Si coupe since November of 2017 and I’ve had issues with my gearbox since day one. After 2,500 miles the car has broken in quite a bit and is generally easier to drive but the gear shift is still clunky 1st through 2nd - and the worst going into reverse, I can be locked out...
  13. I am confused... Shifting Gears at a low RPM?

    Hi guys, I have a couple of questions about shifting gears, I am not new to the manual transmission but from watching few YouTube videos I am just wondering if I am driving the manual as I am supposed to or I am just slowly destroying the engine. Current Car: 2017 Civic Hatch LX Previous Car...

  15. 6MT 1st-2nd gear feels clunky

    Sooo ever since i got the car it feels like going from 1st to 2nd gear, it feels not so smooth in the actual gear box as I'm shifting. not the clutch or anything. sometimes it'll do it and sometimes it wont. but its annoying. its almost like it's not aligned properly. i tried shifting and...
  16. Switching from D to S while driving?

    So I just bought my first Honda in 8 years (last 2 generations didn't impress me) and couldn't get a straight answer from the dealership on shifting. I have a 2016 Honda Civic 1.5 Turbo. Sometimes I am in traffic and want to get around someone quickly so I shift from D to S. I notice the engine...
