I was wondering if anyone can comment on my situation:
I took my 2003 Accord (EX-L Sedan) to the dealer about 2 weeks ago to have them check the manual shifting. It doesn't feel right to me. When the car is stopped, and I have the clutch in and I am shifting between gears, it is reasonably smooth. But if the car is moving (above 60Kph it is really noticable) and I put the clutch in and shift between gears, it is almost like it hesitates to go get the shifter into the gear... kinda like when I'm shifting as I go into the gear it is catching on something. I'm not a mechanic, so I can't really describe it with proper terminology. Anyway, it doesn't feel right when I'm driving because when the car is moving and I put the clutch in to change gears, I feel hesitant to switch gears quickly because it clicks and catches on something and I sorta have to force it through that into gear.
So when I left the car with the dealer the other week, they looked at it and they said they test drove the car but couldn't find any problem. I didn't pickup the car during hours when I could go out for a test drive with someone, but I paid the $40 or whatever they charge just to look at the car. I still think there is a problem! I think I'm going to go back next week during the day and ask to test drive it with a service manager... but I thought I would post here and see if anyone might know what is going on.
Comments?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
