Bought a Honda Civic SI 1.4L 2010 8th gen the other day. In the test drive, fine. Halfway home, fine.
The other half whenever I tried to go into second, it would grind.
Hmm. New clutch recently installed, and I'm doing everything right.
Take it out for another drive. Absolutely fine. Nothing
Another drive. More or less fine, bar a couple of times.
Today. Halfway on my journey, fine. The other half? Every time, I try and go into second, it grinds. My floor is put to the floor on the clutch and its at the correct RPM. As a stopgap I'm double clutching, but what could be causing this issue? I've read a LOT of threads about this issue, I just don't get why it seems to be intermittent.
Also - would like to reassure you all this wasn't the civic i was going to buy until i found out it had failed the MOTs! This has a full service history and has passed basically every MOT, had clutch replced 2 weeks ago too
