Yeah i know the trick, but it still sometimes takes going into first nudging it, when going through the gears. The transmission is starting to shit itself anyways. has a hum at 25 mph and i swear something is bent or loose inside there, oh and 5th gear randomly grinds, but it is so sporadic you never expect it, and it scares you every time

I have a nearly 2 decade old Ferd and the pattern shifts just as is indicated on the shift knob.
>>14974031
And they're all exactly the same distance forward/backward as the next one? You never have any little oddities?
Shifts as illustrated, with even (though long) throws, except it likes to pop out of second once in a blue moon because second gear is apparently union or something and goes on strike.
>>14974040
They basically all feel the same in terms of distance. I think 5 and R are slightly further from 3 and 4 compared to the distance between 1 and 2, but that feels exactly how it's supposed to. It shifts great actually. Original trans with 202k miles.

AE86 with a stupidly short shortshifter.
I've had other 86 drivers be astonished at how short it is.
Driving a BRZ, feels rough in first and second gear. It's like there's a barrier that keeps me from shifting them fully in, it goes half and half. And when I shift from first to second, it makes a cranking/slotting sort of sound. This is my first manual so I'm worried I might have fucked up something. Could there be something wrong with the synchro or linkages? 3rd and onwards feel fine.

Obviously it would be similar to the gear shift on a normal bike, but instead you would strap your foot into in.
You would shift by wildly kicking your leg into the correct position.
As long as I remember to shift nice and smooth it feels like pic to the left, though my reverse is push down then left-up
If I try to race it I have troubles with both third and fifth gear unless I get lucky, and if I change from 1'st at higher than 4000 RPM it will grind like a mofo and I cannot get it into second.
This happened after I tried racing it.

My first truck was a column shifter with jacked up linkage, so it had this fun way of flying completely past any gear. Maximum kek when 17 and trying to drive a girl around and you're stopped a a light trying to jiggle the shifter back into place :^) This is back in the 90s and even then nobody knew about 3-onna-trees anymore.
Now my xterra is just showing its age. I get a little chuckle when the gearshift moves on its own during accel/decel in 3rd gear (weridly it doesn't do it in any other gear)
>>14974631
I don't drive a manual, but why do shift patterns go like this over time?
>>14974683
there's bushings and linkages that wear, get loose, etc., and when your synchros are tired of all your dagumi action it feels like you're trying to shift through rocks

If you have to push down on the shifter to get into reverse, I would guess some form of Honda. Perhaps S2000. If there is a ring that you pull up on, some form of Subaru (but not a BRZ apparently).

I've driven three NBs (two Mazdaspeeds, one SE) with 6spds and none of them felt bad shifting into second. My only problem was getting into 6th - always worry I might accidentally throw it in reverse on the freeway.

I'm an auto driver looking to one day join le seecrit club and get a manual
What is the logic behind the shifters feeling like they have a weird path? Wouldn't the while transmission be fucked internally if that were the case?
I still can't get over the logic behind how a clutch and gears work without getting all fucked up from grinding and movement in the first place
Like the engine is spinning and the gear that connects the flywheel and drive gear are spinning
How do they interlock when spinning at such high speed

Nobody knows for sure.
>>14976178
Rwd transmissions are more direct. Fwd use linkages that can give shitty feel. Also as fwd bushings wear out they get sloppyer. Also 300km is nothing to an American. Every thing is better here.

It only does it in 4th. When I go from 5th to 4th it feels like 4th engages prematurely, so I let the clutch out, but it isn't actually in 4th. It happens about 10% of the time.

I just know from what I've read on Miata forums and the one that I own. Some say that the oil used can affect the first to second shift by making it better or worse.
You feel something very well that creates a good bit of resistance when you move it into reverse. I've done it a few times where I'm shifting, but since I felt the resistance I knew I was going toward reverse. The resistance just make me have to put more force into the push for reverse.
