Just wondering if the gear change in mine which is not as silky smooth as it was, could have anything to do with the new exedy DM flywheel clutch I just had replaced?

I've barely done 100kms on new clutch yet, so hoping it settles in to how lovely it was beforehand...

- Or is it possible the mechanic I used didn't quite do something correct?

 

Did you realign the shifter when you put it all back together or just bolt it back in like I did?

 

...I did neither; I PAID a guy to do the whole job.

Sounds a possibility?

 

...Just looked up the shifter re-alignment post;

Phew; doesn't sound too difficult then...Plus alternative posts (MANY replies to this) suggest changing oil if (as VERY common I read) 1 - 2 shift is predominantly when cold; I'll take note on next long drive of temps and if there's any change in it :-)

 

First realign your shifter to see if that makes a difference, then fluid.

 

I (or HE really should do it!) will realign the shifter as above - I'm pretty sure that's the problem.

I'll also check the oil viscosity he used.

Cheers

One question; suggestion for 'adhesive' the guide says to use for gear ****?
Obviously something that won't stop it ever coming off again! LOL

 

Realign that shifter. Should "cure" the problem.

I've never had issues with the shift **** coming off, even when I didn't use any adhesive or glue.
