clunky change from first to second

[adesignercallednick]

Hi Guys,

I've noticed my S1 isn't very smooth when changing from first to second, it's noticeable when starting from cold, and sometimes better when I let the revs get higher before I shift up - is there a knack to it? I've been told first to second is a less synchronised change than the others anyhow?

Or is it just my lame driving?

Thanks

Mine was the same, I fit a new second gear and synchromesh. It's a lot better but still not perfect, I've driven other S1's that are the same, and other 6 speed quattro boxes can be the same unfortunately

Thanks Dom - so hopefully it's not something that I have to worry about if it's a common characteristic!
