2nd gear Clunky

AlanManouk · 06-21-2012, 09:00 PM

I know there may be a thread on this, but just to make sure...When shifting into second gear it feels as if it is clunking through something then falling into place. Happens 75% of the time I would say. The car is brand new off the lot has only 2k miles on it since purchase.

Heh, yeah, mine does this to. I think it's pretty common.

I have had enough of my clunks, taking it back into the dealer to look at it (I fully don't expect them to do anything, that's the Nissan way)

You can change your fluid, it will work well in the short term.

So you mean that the clunky thing is there for good

not clunky on mine. try changing your throttle lift and clutch-in timing, and perhaps try slowing down entering the gate. you might be rushing the syncro. make sure you clutch-in all the way to the floor too.
