How come my shifter isn't as smooth anymore?
My '01 has 19K on it....tranny, and diff was replaced around 1500 miles ago at Honda....I'm trying to figure out why my shifter isn't shifting like its supposed to...it feels too notchy. It hasn't grinded yet, but I notice that the shifter only gets smooth after I drive the car hard....meaning staying in Vtec mode for around 1 and a half minutes straight....I know the fluid has to warm up, but it seems to take too long to warm up....It sometimes feels better after I park the car, and I guess the heat soak helps a bit....but anyone else experience this?

I would sometimes be driving for an hour, and the notchiness is there in all the gears....sometimes, all the gears are perfectly smooth...aaaarrrgghh!! I guess its just moody. Is it possible the clutch isn't fully disengaging? Thats what it kind of feels like.....
