Hi all,
I recently purchase (on finance) a gorgeous milano red GT type R FN2, it's a 61 plate and also only has 50K miles on the clock. The problem i'm having is that I feel it's just really hard to change gear smoothly especially when giving it the beans in VTEC, sometimes when going from 1st to 2nd it'll crunch and then go in.
Also it seems like it slips slightly when changing gear under high load and then it feels like the clutch grips and you can feel it pull away again.
I really have to pull back hard to get it from 1st to 2nd to get it into gear and i'm a pretty strong guy.
I'm just so disappointed because i feel like i just can't get a perfect shift ever and iv'e had like 6 crunches in the first month of having the car.
I feel like it's me but iv'e seen that people have had a similar issue, people say how great the gear box is but honestly i feel like it's the worst gearbox iv'e experienced.
The problem is the garage is 180 miles away from where i live, i'm talking to them at the minute but what should i tell them? Is the clutch going?
Please help me I love this car and i really want to enjoy it
