More 5th gear problems
Last summer I had a problem w/ 5th gear; in that it was stuck there and it took all of my strength to get it out.
Dealer fixed it under warranty, but had to get parts from Honda America as well as info on how to handle it. That did not impress me too much.
Anyway, last Thurs. I again had some difficulty with 5th gear. This time it was just very stiff in trying to get out of it into 6th. I've not been dropping the clutch at high RPMs or anything and it is hard to imagine being brutal with 5th gear anyway. Seems to be doing OK right now, but to be on the safe side I'm double-clutching on 4 - 6.
