Madwi talked up the RJI assembly to give a better window of engaugement. 1-2 can still be tricky at times.

the trick to smoothing out 1-2 shift is to engage 1st at a higher rpm from stand still, or let it slip longer. it's directly related how u modulate the throttle.

most often newb z drivers engage 1st gear too low rpm... then throttle up but then need to release throttle for 2nd and by dat time u got a mess of flywheel spin (inertia) to deal with.

kenchan 02-18-2016 08:38 PM

engage 1st from like 2k rpm (when the tach is horizontal) and count ichi-nee-san while u engage.

Sorry, what? My Si has an actual clutch pedal? I thought i was simply hulk smashing my wheel well anytime I wanted to shift. I love the Z having feeling and power behind every shift.

How was the Fits clutch? Did it carry any weight whatsoever? I can't even feel the Si's at times because it basically weighs less than a butterfly to engage.

u'll be surprised how smoothly you accelerate from standstill, and how easy it is to setup for the 1-2 shift.

I know how to driver Kernchan haha. 1-2 2-3 don't kill me anymore. But having a smoother shift experience is always nice. I think jar got the assembly also.

the fit's clutch is light and engages a tad higher than my other 3 cars. but it's consistent. the issue with the honda tranny is the gates. grinds when cold.
