crv 2007 gear change

[ste]

anybody have any info on 2007 petrol crv gear change, I had her for over 4 years and gear change has been a bit notchy on lower gears but not really got any worse , when I bought it from Honda dealer in derby they said it was ok , but is there any thing that can be done to make gear change smoother like oil change or linkage change or do I put up with it as a characteristic of crvs  please let me know as I love car to bits and would love to keep her

Hi ..... welcome to the Forum

 

I too have a 2007 (3rd Generation) CRV and know what you mean about notchy second gear.

This crunching always tends to be when I'm in a hurry to change into second as the revs tend to stay high (on the diesel engine) and is almost unavoidable unless I slow the whole process down.

I am aware of doing this and always apologise to the gearbox in the hope that the synchros don't destroy themselves in revenge, lol
