I have a 2025 Type R, about 1300m. I babied it since new. The transmission always chunked on the 1-2 shift, but I never thought much of it. A few days ago I did my first pull with hard acceleration and 1-2 shift which ground and would not engage. I had to release / repress the clutch for it to engage. What are your thoughts on this?
Further, I have noticed a bit of a behavior out of the car. The clutch seems to begin biting / car moving when it displays 30% or so on the clutch travel gauge of LOGR. (meaning roughly 30% from the very top of the stroke.) It kinda feels a bit sloppy and unpredictable.
Any recommendations on this?
On a probably not, but possibly related note. I was checking for transmission slipping and noticed this behavior.
On the interstate if I place the car in 6th going about 60mph it is at 2000rpm. If I romp on it, it will initially accelerate to 2500rpm (Original + 500 rpm) rapidly, within a second or so. Then hang there for a few seconds with minor +-100rpm fluctuations, then slowly climb. It does the same at roughly 3000rpm in fifth gear. I am not convinced this is a slip, and is likely just the way the car is mapped/turbo lag etc. But, I don't have any other reference points for this car. It is my first honda. Does this seem normal?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
