My clutch felt like an on and off switch and there was lag in the accelerator pedal.

I replaced the clutch fluid and and readjusted the accelerator pedal position sensor (the FSM says in bold "do not adjust" lol) and all is much better. nearly honda like

I know guys may think it's all in my head but the whole car drives smoother and throttle lag is pretty much gone. Also down shifting is smooth I was able to go from 5th to 4th at 70mph and no jerk at all.

So if your having 6MT issues get the ECM update.

Thanks

Can you please review your service receipt and post up specifically what the technicians notes were related to fixing this issue. Hopefully there is an ITB referenced or something specific about the ECM update that I can approach my service department with.
Thanks in advance

more info please. this still doesn't sound sright. an ECM "fix" would not change shifting in a manual gearbox. other things could, but the manual is (thankfully) free from overbearing computer interference.

OMG.... thanks for making me laugh today. The very idea that there's even an ECM update for a manual transmission makes me smile. For the engine, yes. For a manual transmission? No. The manual transmission is 100% mechanical and has no computer controls whatsoever. For those who claim the car shifts smoother, I suspect it might have something to do with the rev hang of the engine because it's definitely nothing with the transmission.
