Hello, /o/, I just started driving manual the other day, and I've pretty much got enough of a grasp on it to get around, but I had some questions. When shifting, it sometimes feels like there's a block when I want to shift into a gear. In addition, sometimes when I shift, it seems to hesitate before grabbing, which I assume is the synchros. Also, last night, first started making a grinding noise when I granny shifted into it going around a corner. The car is still under warranty, so should I take it into a dealer? Or am I just bad at it still?

You don't just jam it into gear. Synchromesh is not for fast shifting.
You gently knock it into gear, and get used to the car until you can match the rpm, gear, and road speed reasonably well.
protip: shift at higher RPMs. worse on gas, easier to shift smoothly.

I don't necessarily feel like I'm slamming it, it's usually pretty leisurely, but it just feels like if I don't put pressure on it, it won't shift. Also, pardon my lack of knowledge in the exact mechanics, but if the clutch is disengaged, isnt the motor disconnected from the transmission entirely? How do higher rpms help shift smoothly?

replace shift cables?
drain/refill tranny?
maybe tranny user actually borked?

You can slam hondas

The block is the input and output shafts spinning at wildly different speeds, the synchros aren't going to let you into gear until they've equalized.

You can slam anything but that doesn't mean it's good for the tranny.

Isn't that a F&F term for not double clutching?

I just took it to mean shifting slowly into a low gear at low speed

Please do not ever quote fast and furious in a serious manner ever again. If you're still learning the basics, don't bother with worrying about doubl

This guy granny shifted and died mid post, always quit f&f as it will keep you alive, OP. Also draft under every semi for hours to save gas and do not turn without being sideways.

But if he died before he could complete his sentence, how'd he solve the captcha? 2spooky4me
