Hey guys, when i am upshifting in gears in my Si, sometimes the shifting is smooth and sometimes it feels different. Let me try to explain this, when i go into 1st it goes in smooth like butter, but when i am shifting to 2nd, it goes in kind of like, its goes thru a tight fit then goes in. its nothing hard or really bad, could be the synchros its touching. but for some reason, when i am shifting to any gear, when i put in the clutch, i let the rpm go down to 1,500 and then i shift and it goes in smooth. sorry for this question as in i am new to a stick shift and just want to make sure of this. anyone willing to shed some light to this question...
