I don't know if it's a problem or what but since i got back from my vacation, shifiting between gears hasnt been smooth, thers a bit of a clunk into every gear, i'm wondering what the problem is...wouldnt be the clutch would it?

I highly doubt it is your clutch. The only way it would be your clutch is if your throw out bearing is bad and not stopping the clutch/flywheel.

What you need to do is change the transmission fluid with honda mtf. this should help it out.

I was gonna say mounts, but it could be the fluid from sitting for a while? My car made a clunk when I shifted but it turned out to be a bad mount in that case.

Yeah the tranny fluid is pretty new, got it replaced like a year ago, and for manual transmissions its like once every 5 years or something. Could be just the cold weather maybe? I guess we'll see. For now its fine I guess.

Same thing with my car. Mine is a manual and the shifts are always a little rough in winter, once it warms up it feels a lot better.

Try lubing the ball shifter under the center console.

shifter bushings

Its really hard for shifter bushings to go bad... people just upgrade them to aluminum to give a tighter feeling, but it really doesnt improve feel very much.

My car also shifts horrible in winter. Once spring comes around it gets better.

Transmission fluid takes a while to warm up. When was the last time you changed it? Even here in NY at this time of year, I haven't really noticed any rough shifting though. Then again, I shift a little earlier when first driving, so that might be why

use a full synthetic like amsoil, it works better when very cold. the regular stuff needs to warm up before you will get smooth shifts.

When was the last time you checked the fluid level?
