I also noticed the 2nd always bumps. Most noticeably is the RPM drop once engaged even if I leave on "sport mode"... Best advice once you engage clutch just rev the RPM's like mentioned above to above at least 3K and engage 2nd quickly, Since doing that no bump or clunkkk....

are you guys talking about the lever from 1-2 or clutch work?

if clutch work you need to practice some more and apply a tad of throttle when engaging 2nd while the fly wheel is spinning down. i mentioned this several times to newbs on MT's but it is like catching a ball or water balloon you toss up in the air.

you match speed with your arms/hands when you grab it, right? it's the same prinicple with the flywheel.

a lighter clutch helper spring helps with this imo

Not clutch work. At first I thought it was I as letting the clutch out too soon, but after working it and carefully doing shifting/clutch it was still jerky.

I like the stock clutch spring / feeling :ugh2:
That's why I decided to buy the car... because of the way it drove

Yeah, but a lot of people have reported some extra lateral movement and some slack at the top of travel with nothing at all. I would rather fix the problem with the fewest side effects.

i see. the colder temps does make the tranny pretty stiff at times.

adding a weighted knob can help. :)
