Hard shift to 2nd gear after cold start | |||||||
Hard shifting into second gear before the vehicle has had sufficient time to warm up may be caused by insufficient clearance between 2nd gear synchronizer ring and the 1-2 clutch hub. Design changes have been made to the 2nd gear synchronizer ring and clutch hub sleeve to correct this problem since April 1, 1991.
If you experience hard shifting into 2nd gear after a cold start with an RX-7 (non-turbo) or Miata produced prior to April 1, 1991, replace the 2nd gear synchronizer ring and 1-2 clutch sleeve (or 1-2 clutch hub set) with redesigned ones. Refer to section J of the workshop manual for installation procedures.
