Smooth Shifting
Hi,
I have a 2001 Integra GSR and I'm having trouble shifting smoothly from 1st
to 2nd. All the other gears are smooth. Why is it so and can you give me
any tips?
I try to shift at 3000 rpm (15 mph) unless I'm pulling out into traffic then
I go way higher. If I'm at a stop and I put it into 1st to go... as soon as
I blip the gas it's already at 3000 rpm but I hardly travel a few feet!
Again, any tips for shifting from 1st to 2nd?

Smooth Shifting
is it grinding?
are your shifting problems due to your innability to shift gears correctly
or is this due to a problem with your transmission?
email me if you wish to follow up... i have some suggestions to help you get
past this "problem" but i don't feel very comfortable with these
newsgroups...

Smooth Shifting
No it's not grinding... it's probably my innability to balance the clutch
and gas from 1st to 2nd :P
But that's why I'm asking for tips. Shifting from 2nd thru 5th I can
balance them without even thinking about it... just can't get 1st to 2nd
without a jerk here and there.

Smooth Shifting
Usually the shift from first to second is always the least smooth. Can you
accelerate from a dead stop and have it be smooth? If so, then I'm not sure
what the problem would be, but if i had to guess, i would say its either a
tranny problem, or you just havn't found the ideal relationship between
gas/clutch for that gear

Smooth Shifting
How do you figure its a tranny problem, there are alot more obvious things
than buying a new tranny that should be looked at for rough shifting..
actually from the sounds of it, the shifting (getting the shifter from 1st
to 2nd) isnt even the problem.. It sounds to me like you just havent
learnt to drive the car properly for smoothness,i dont see what the problem
is.. im sure you get it right some of the time? just dont worry about it..
you will get better with time..

I drive a 91 Teg. I find that the transition from 1-2 seems to have a
bit of a touch required. My dad used to describe it as grabbing. It's
done it since new and now at 114K, just got 2nd clutch...still same.
I've just learned to deal with the "unique" gearing on that one. My
buddy's old 84 Accord had a massive shift, but dropped right into the
"powerband" sounded like a shuttle launch but was fun every now and then
next to a convertible.
I've gotten used to how the car moves into 2nd and short of a limited
slip it's actually really well balanced. I have come to love it, but it
took a good 2 years to become an expert on balancing ALL my shifts. Serious.

Smooth Shifting
It's been almost 2 years and I still can't get the transition from 1-2
smoothly. I can do it sometimes, but just by chance. Also, there's nothing
wrong with the tranny. The car was my first manual so I didn't really learn
how to shift before that. Now I'm in a habit I'm trying to break. No
problems shifting from 2-5. I guess the gear ratios are so close that's why
I can shift smoothly in those gears.
How would you normally shift from 1-2 if you were at a stop light and it
turned green?

Smooth Shifting
It's been about 2 years and I still can't get the transition from 1-2
smoothly. I can do it sometimes, but just by chance. And it's just those
two gears. They seem to require alot more "balancing" then the others.
Any tips on shifting from 1-2 when you're at a stop light and it turns
green?

Smooth Shifting
you slowly let the clutch out and give it some gas until you feel the clutch
engage, (duh) then when you throw the clutch in and shift, SLOWLY let the
clutch out and give it some gas. If i had to guess, I would say you arnt
feathering the clutch (that is, letting it out slow enough) or not giving it
enough gas

My 2000 GS-R is also fairly harsh on the 1-2 shift. I've never got it
to be as smooth as the other gears. I'd just try coming off the
clutch a bit slower until you can get it smoother.
