2003 Acura 3. 2cl type s - 75,000 miles - manual transmission (mt) is hard to shift into second and reverse gears. Also noticed that after holding the Clutch pedal in while at a stop light, sitting in traffic, etc. , the pressure changes while letting the pedal out and doesn't engage/catch while attempting to shift. Must push pedal down again and try to shift again. The first couple of times this happened, I shifted from first into second gear and the gear grinded and car jerked. The pedal pressure almost feel like a brake pedal does when compressed and there is air in the line. At other times, it feels like I'm pushing in my 1978 z-28 manual Clutch pedal. . . . Heavy! service dept is excellent at dealer location. Complaint being filed to ensure that a problem is noted with the mt if others are having the same issues; which could lead to a recall.
