Hi All. My Type R currently has about 6500 miles on it. Since Day 1, it has feel like I have to fight through a solid wall when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. This delay is only present between 1st and 2nd - 3rd to 4th is crunchy but immediate. This wall is present whether I'm shifting fast or slow, at high RPM or low RPM. I've adjusted the push rod behind my clutch to remove the pedal free play and swapped my trans fluid to Amsoil, but this wall remains unaffected. The '17 SI that I traded in for the R had the typical 10th gen crunchy even gear shifts, but never had a spot between 1st and 2nd where the shifter gets stuck for a second.
I was all beginning to accept this as an unfortunate quirk of the car, when I had the opportunity to drive another Type R belonging to a friend. His shifter slides immediately from 1st to 2nd gear, no invisible wall at all. Shifts from 1st into 2nd are immediate and without delay, just like they were on my '17 SI. He is also running Amsoil like me, but otherwise has no additional aftermarket parts.
Do you guys have this delay between 1st and 2nd on your R, or is your's immediate? Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this?
