Gear adjusting?
Hi
Is there such a thing 'gear adjustment' in our cars? From 2 to 3 sometimes it feels like pre grinding feel(like the synchro is on its way out)maybe it is just adjustment job or trans is about to be replaced. 2 friends drove my car and confirmed their brz's dont feels that way.

How many miles on your car? Do you have a short shifter? Have you checked the transmission fluid level? humfrz |

How quickly are you trying to change gears? Is the transmission fully warmed up? I also have Motul 300 in my transmission and if I try to quickly change gears while the transmission is still cold it will feel like there is some resistance going into the next gear, sort of like it is about to grind. I've found that it's best to shift a little more "gently" until everything is fully 100% warmed up.
Have you adjusted the clutch pedal at all? If the pedal has been lowered too much it may not be fully disengaging the clutch, making it hard to jam it into gear. |

If the car is still under warranty, you may consider taking it back to the dealer and see what they have to say -

The dealer is bunch of morons.
They might go for the easy and quick solution-trans replacement. I assume they dont know the idea of clutch/gb adjustment. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |
