Well now, @
jovimaghiran, I wouldn't think any of those mentioned mods would effect a transmission warranty.
However, I doubt that having a notchy 2nd gear in the transmission, is going to get you any warranty service.......
Here are my thoughts on shifting the FRS MT:
First off, this seems to be a fairly common situation.
As mentioned above, a warmer transmission is a happier transmission.
In addition, I would suggest that when shifting, wind up the last gear pretty tight before shifting into the next higher gear.
Also, when shifting from 1st to 2nd,
pull the shift lever
slowly and
firmly into 2nd gear.
It's not a toggle switch ..... the lever is moving heavy transmission parts.
I suggest you not "lazy leg" it; be sure to push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor.
If technique doesn't help, you may consider changing the transmission oil with something "slipperier".
