I don't about you guys, but whenever I shift out of first and going in second, it always feels a bit notchier than the other gears. Sometimes feels like it's 'clicking' into gear. 5th and 6th gear are a little bit eyyy, but it's okay. I've grinded both 5th and 6th -___-"

2nd is pretty notchy for me. 5th and 6th are the ones where I get nearly no feedback and it kinda just eases in.

Reverse is very notchy for me. Everything else is okay, except for sixth, which is a bit notchier.

Third is my trouble spot, feels a bit vague when I'm shifting hard/fast. I'm probably going to order a SS kit in a month or so, hopefully that fixes it.

excuse my ignorance but what about being "notchy", which i do recognize from my first gear and 2nd too, is bad? is it an issue?

I don't have any notchyness to my gearbox either, smooth as glass in all gears!:burnrubber:
and I drive nothing but stick
I would say have it looked at, but I think the dealership will choose not to do much because it is a MT.
The one thing I do with all my cars, is once I hit the first year, I always drain and flush the transmission fluid:thumbup:

Sorry to bring up an old topic but my second gear is pretty notchy as well. This is my first MT car though and I thought it was just my incompetence at first, but now everything is silky smooth except 2nd. I have to really ease out the clutch to get it smooth and if I'm going fast, it's always notchy. Is this really a transmission problem or is it just me (which I think it is) and what should I do about it then?
