'97 Civic Shifting Roughness
Hello,
I have a '97 Civic that I bought recently. It has a 5 spd tranny. If I am
reeaally careful letting the clutch out, I can make it shift smoothly.
Shifting like I have any other car I've driven tends to be kind of rough and
jerky. It has 100K miles on it. After I bought it, I changed the manual
tranny fluid with the Honda fluid and noticed a big difference although it
is still sensitive. I think that this was the first time that it had been
changed. Would it be worth changing again to flush out the rest of the crap
that may be in it? Are there any adjustments I can make to the clutch?
Lastly, any other thoughts on why this is? Other than that and a vibration
that I think comes from a heat shield when cold, it is a great car.
Thanks,
Bob
