Clicky Gears!

Hugoneus · 03-10-2010, 12:00 PM

Dear Members,

Do you sometimes have two-step engaging of the gears? I mean, the gears catch a little half way through shifting? This mostly happens in first gear for me. sometime all the way up to 3rd gear. I am not pushing the car at all yet (break-in period).

Should I be concerned about this?

Thanks!

Typical "Z" MT behavior. You'll get used to it, dude.

Thanks, just double checking!

FWIW, most stronger, larger manual transmissions do that. While you should never feel a grind, some hesitation mid throw past the synchro is nothing to be worried about.

You'll also notice this shifting into first without double clutching from a roll. Pressuring the first gear synchro, it's common to have it move half way, pause again, and then slot in fully.
