OMG today when i was coming back from work. i noticed my gear bow throws were sooo smooth. smoother than EVER before. WTF why isent like this all the time? i would turn gay for it to be like all the time. I did give my car a Idle 10 minutes before i even started driving. Do you guys know if any methods to keep your gear box to smooth like that!? i was so amazed i could'nt stop driving!

this happens to me sometimes but i notice when it does happen, it's really warm outside like in the mid 80's. what was the temperature outside when you were in your car?

 

It was around 60 Degree's F. when i was driving. Yeah im sure temp has something to do it with to

 

same thing happens to my car in the mornings when I let it idle sometimes but the result seems consistent if i do some heavier driving on the transmission such as shifting in the high rpms and what not and also after i take a longer interstate trip.

isnt it spanking new?... a year tops? lol

 

i changes mine and it stopped the 3rd gear issues, but its still kinda notchy. used normal honda fluid

 

its just random... one day it will be knotty and annoying. one day the gears with throw smoother than butter.

 

The same thing happens with my FA5. When it's hot out, like 80F plus in the afternoon and the sun has thoroughly baked the car and blacktop, the gears and clutch are very smooth driving around. However, when I drive to work in the mornings recently, it's anywhere from 50-65 outside and the shifter is rough and the clutch is grabby, I have to slip the clutch a little longer starting out and be more careful changing gears. Also, when the motor is cold I get the notorious surging throttle, which is pretty wild for my experiences with Hondas. It behaves almost like a purpose built racecar in a way. It's annoying, but it makes feel "factory modified" in a way.

 

the surgimg throttle is the drive by wire system. it only happens to me when the car is completely cold.

 

bump ^^
