Hi there
I had some problem with my 6MT (many others also complained, including si and type R, some have problem with 2nd gear, some have problems with all even number gears). I found the 1st gear is always clunky. But under certain circumstances......
1. When the car is on, stationary, press clutch then quickly shift into 1st.........clunky shift (kind of mechanical resistance feeling, but not grind)
2. When the car is on, stationary, press clutch then quickly shift into 1st, keep clutch in, return to neutral, then shift to 1st is smooth
3. When the car is on, stationary, press clutch then wait 10 seconds, shift to 1st is smooth
4. When the car is off, shift to 1st is smooth, even with clutch out
5. When driving, downshift to 1st is impossible. Kind of like a lockout, unless I'm almost stopped (under 5mph)
All of those symptoms, I strongly speculate if the 1st gear has a synchronizer, then those synchronizers are probably defective from the factory.
Does that make sense to you guys? What're your thoughts?
