hi all, right my gear box drives and changes fine, its nice and tight and changes into gear fine, however when i change from first into second at low revs or quickly theres a very faint almost what i would call a thud? its hard to explain really, it doesnt sound anything bad but just strange really.
is this normal??

when it does it, i cant feel it through the gear stick or anything like that, i could only describe it to be a noise asif you were to punch a feather pillow?

Sounds pretty normal to me. The shift on the IS can be slightly clunky. Nothing to worry about.
Yep, i have the same 1st to 2nd, worse when cold, been there since i got the car, never got worse, wont get better, just one of those things i think.
Yeah its the same in mine, worse when its cold.
its worn syncro mesh on the gearbox, either poor quality components or crap design of the box.
nothing u can go about it.

cheers guys, thats all good then. it seems a common thing.
thanks.
thanks.
mine does the same, was thinking about this the other day glad its common..
Try changing your gearbox oil. I would highly recommend using [url="http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-1020-redline-synthetic-manual-transmission-90-mt90-75w-90-gl4.aspx"]RedLine MT-90[/url]
I had a similar issue but since changing to MT-90 it only happens on the odd occasion now but I think that's more to do with the hand being faster than the foot
. I also have a [url="http://www.trdparts.jp/english/parts_clutch-line.html"]TRD direct clutch line[/url] sitting in the cupboard waiting to go in so we'll see if that improves things further.

just curious - would replacing the syncro mesh improve the gear changes?
currently (sorry to hijack the thread) when i put into 3rd gear, it feels as though it has hit something and wont slot in 3rd.. so i have to wait a milli secondon and then it slots in....
sorry im not very mechanically minded.. does this sound like the mesh?
cheers
