The only time I use 1st is from a complete standstill.

 

It happen kinda of often when I'm at 3rd and have to slow down the speed so I clutch in and shift to 2nd and I feel there's a wall. I afraid if I apply pressure ,it's going to hurt the car so I keep in 3rd and I rmb the rpm is kinda of low.

 

On a related note, Has anyone experienced a click sound when shifting into gear from the rear end? it only happens in morning when i first start the z. Its a loud click when i Accel and de-accel.

 

Same thing happens to me everyday. If you force the shift does it clunk?
I only feel this "wall" on second and very rarely on third.

 

worn 2nd gear synchros, by chance?
