Hello,
I have an awful shift into second gear when the car is cold. Sometimes I feel grinding other times the shift is better. I do know how to shift as well as advanced shifting techniques. I was wondering what was wrong. Every other gear is perfect. I have heard of the CDV but do not know if it actually is that because usually when the engine warms up the shift into second feels smoother.
PLEASE HELP IT REALLY DOES BUG ME...45K $ car and shift sucks...
Thank you,
David Arustamian

| Anybody?? Anything? I tend to realize that it doesn't seem as bad when the engine is warmed up and I shift at around 4K.

David,
I'm not a pro mechanic, but it sounds like you have a weak syncro in 2nd gear. Since your car is new, I'd have the dealer look at it. Most likely they'll put in a new transmission. You might have to leave it overnight so they can see how it grinds when it's cold.

Hi,
It sounds to me like the dealer might want to take a look at your transmission. I would also suspect a slow synchro. Since the car is still under warranty, take advantage of it.
