I have heard that our s2000s will be "notchy" in the cold going from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. Well Firstly, how cold is cold, because I will feel it being "notchy" unless its about 80 degrees F. Also it feels like a single grind, and the one from 2 to 3 is evident more often, no matter the temperature. I changed my tranny fluid about 4 months ago and they said there wasnt anything in the fluid, so im not sure whether I should be worried or not? This will not occur if i go from first gear, then clutch then neutral then let off the clutch pedal, then back on the clutch then shift to 2...

You probably want to get some rubber gloves for this. It's a bit messy.

this sounds like you are describing double clutching technique.

Frez2k

I just ordered my greases and about to grease up the shifter. i heard it is worth it.

made a noticeable improvement to my shifts after the shifter regrease and new transmission & clutch fluid.

Have you checked the clutch fluid level and checked for any leaks?

Frez2k

there are no leaks, and I have checked the clutch fluid, unless i am checking the wrong canister. I just want to know what notchiness feels like, because i let a mechanic drive it and he said nothing was wrong, but i just dont know if i believe him

TelosHedge

go drive an STI, DSM, 3000GT, old school supra, or a mustang. that's what notchiness feels like

a notchy shifter feels like it's fighting you a bit when you're trying to shift. picture churning butter, without the butter. the word i would use to describe it is really more clunky than notchy.
