Hey guys and girls,
Apologies if this is in the wrong section.
I've got an '04 Liberty 3.0RB, and compared to other manual cars I have driven its quite different... I find it very difficult to get a smooth gearshift, even when driving quite gently. Even after driving it 10k kms I still struggle to shift consistently smoothly. I have never had this issue in other manuals I have driven (forester, outback, troopy, golf). It just seems like the revs drop too quickly. Is this a known "feature" of the engine in this car? Or is it more likely that the previous owner has installed a lighter flywheel, heavier clutch, etc? Its to the point where I would actually consider going to an Auto for my next car, just very frustrating.
Cheers.
