Question Shifting into 2nd gear.

Hey guys, i was just curious if their was anything i could do to fix this problem.

While driving sometimes when i shift from first to second it hits neutral and i just rev it up, of course i quickly kick it up to seconds but its getting a little old.

Should i try adjusting the clutch or is this something that im doing wrong.

Mmmmm, I find that you need a bigger change up from 1st to 2nd anyway than all the other gears to make sure you miss neutral, however maybe that's a subconscious thing.

However, if it were me, maybe check the clutch cables etc and make sure all is lubed up properly. Do you have any problems in ANY other gear? if not, I think it's just one of them and you just need to be a little heavier on the change.

If you don't solve your problem with practice you can reset your shift lever to a lower position to help with shifts.
