Chan/Randy -- Drive this weekend? (archive)

2-3 upshift feels fine in mine Randy. I know you had Leith look at -- maybe you want to take it to Performance in Chapel Hill and have them look at the transmission and clutch.

By the way, I got two, count'em two parking lot dings this holiday season while shopping. Merry f@#$%$ Christmas.

Also, Chan, Randy, you guys up for a drive Saturday or Sunday? My leg is sufficiently healed that I'm actually able to move my right foot from the gas to brake. Chan, Randy has some roads in southern Wake he says are a fun run.

Let me know.

When accelerating with the rest of the traffic on the road, I find that shifting from 2nd to 3rd is very notchy. There is a tanglible click that I feel just as I leave the stick's neutral position.

This happens even when I completely press the clutch, wait ... shift ... and release the clutch. Once I am in third with the clutch down, if I move it from 2nd back to 3rd, or 4th back to 3rd, I don't feel this.

Is this the transmission? The clutch not engaging enough (but it only affects 3rd gear)? Or perhaps just the "template" or "H" pattern that the stick follows has a sharp corner on it that gets hit from 2nd to 3rd.
