Shifting into 2nd? (Manual)

[flyrchris]

I have a 2024, build date Aug 2023. 2nd gear sucks donkey balls. When its cold, its hard to shift into 2nd between 2k-2.5k rpms. When the trans is warmed up, its still hard to shift into 2nd gear at times.

Anyone else having issues?

That is a known issue I believe, mine does it sometimes, but not always. I seem to remember journalists at the launch press event saying the same thing, and I thought it was supposedly getting fixed. With your build, it should be fixed by now.

I've had many manual cars and it's been a mixed bag. I have no issues with shifting into 2nd however I installed the Z1 short throw and the shifter support bushings when the car was like 2 weeks old. I can definitely feel the crazy heavy flywheel. Can't wait to swap that out and loose the rotation mass. I believe I read that the issues that the 370 had were supposedly addressed with this revision. I hope this is the case. I also hope you guys figure out the issue. You may want to swap out this Clutch Goodie. I plan to.

Me... not as bad but noticeable...

I don't have that issue, but one thing I have noticed is that shifting into third sometimes feels crunchy when the car is warm, but not cold.

I find my Sport is a little cranky shifting from 2nd to 3rd, but it's really not too bad. Funny thing is I've had the same issue shifting from 4th to 5th on my Frontier. I figured it is just me. Now that I've had a chance for the clutch to wear a bit, it doesn't seem to be much of an issue. It is RPM specific in my case too. I tend to not wind it up too much in daily driving and that is when I tend to feel the shifting to be a little stiff.
