Great video, thanks for sharing.
Glad the adjustment helped!Great video, thanks for sharing.
My type R (10,000km) has always been notchy into second & I had the occasional 1st-2nd gear grind under hi revs.
I checked the free play on my clutch as per video. (Easy to do, all you need is a 12mm spanner/wrench and it takes less than 30 seconds).
I found I had free play in the master cylinder rod (took about 3 clockwise rotations to take up the slack). I did not have to adjust the pedal itself. Just loosened the locking nut on the master cylinder rod & rotated the rod clockwise until I could feel it firm up. Tightened the lock nut & job done.
From first test drive, I noticed improved shifting from 1st to 2nd & 3rd to 2nd.
I have been driving for a week now & tested many hi rev 1st to 2nd pulls without a problem to date.
Shifting is improved generally
This slack in the rod adjustment must have been from factory as Michael said in the video.
If you are having minor/occasional shift problems, then this is well worth checking out.
Thanks Again
