Is this normal? I know the transmission is noisy but this just feels notchy and maybe even a little grinding.
I've driven nothing but Manuals for 12 years so I'm not a clutch newbie.
thanks in advance.
Mine is notchy as well from 1st to 2nd. It doesn't grind, but it's the least smooth gear change for me as well. I have 3700 miles and I've noticed that for it to be as smooth as the other changes you need to get the rpms just right. It takes some practice to get that gear change just right.
