Synchro's in 1st and Reverse?
I called up my local dealership and mentioned that since they replaced the master clutch cylinder that it was a bit more difficult to get the car into first, second and reverse.
I know many cars have issues getting into first and reverse, however, should it be tough to get into 2nd gear? This is irrespective of the temperature outside.
I have 2000 GS-R with 43,000 miles.

Does it get better if you pump the clutch? That would be if there's air in the lines.
1st & 2nd are on opposite sides of the same synchro hub. So maybe something messed up in common for those. Reverse doesn't have a synchro.

many manual cars have some issues getting into first and reverse from a dead stop. happens every once and a while to me, and i just put it back in neutral, clutch out, and clutch back in....works every time. that or if reverse acts up, i just pop it in 4th quick and then to reverse.

True. The first/reverse issue generally happens when I'm at a stop.
Going into second occurs infrequently. However, it happens when I'm driving.
Worth a call to the dealership (still under warranty). Should I ask for them to address something specifically?

i used to have that issue....every once and a while if i was going into a turn and would try to shift into second, it just wouldn't go. i changed my tranny fluid to GM synchromesh and it hasn't happened ever since. when's the last time you changed the fluid?
