[QUOTE="Abercrombie FJR, post: 1417980, member: 17489"] I've been experiencing some very notchy up shifting particularly from first to second gear. Under hard acceleration shifting at higher rpms, its almost been scary sounding going into second. I followed your clutch soak and found the plates were dry as expected but didn't find the friction plates very built up with grime. I did scrub the little bit a found and soaked the plates over night finding the oil had become darker and discolored over night. When I reinstalled the clutch, I found improvement but its not what I was looking for. For some reason I've never replaced the clutch fluid on my 2014 so that is the next step and hope that will fully cure the problem. I guess I should've done that first since it would've been easiest of the two solutions. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
