Response to 2002 2nd Gear "thunk"

[Patrick Martin]

I said something a day or two ago about exactly this.

This happens on the se-r's and the spec-v's. I had them evaluate it when I
had my car in for some other things.

They said everyone complains about it, (they're a HUGE volume dealer) but
that's just the way it is (this year).

It sorta "thunks" badly and pulls hard into second gear some times. Does
this car have a dual synchro mesh on second? Could that do it? I notice it
lessens if the car is totally warmed up, and if maybe you pull the shifter
left along the gate into second, but that' just me.

>>>>Hey guys, I was just wondering if you guys noticed (and now used to it)
something different to the shifting when going from first to second (than
from the other gears 2-6)???? anyone? I'm hoping that it's not just my
car..... just checking...... Drive hard my friends!
