Ever have those days....
Where you just can't manage a smooth shift. All day yesterday its as if I've never driven a stick before. Each shift was rough, I just couldn't get my feet in sync.
Then this morning I'm as smooth as butter, no bogging whatsoever. Happens to me at least once every few weeks. Not sure if its related to positioning or maybe its just because I can't drive

Someone stole "My Garage"
I totally know what you're sayin', but normally it happens for a few days after I swap in-or-out the winter mats. The mats I use are probably 3/4" thicker than the OEM fabric mats, thus my feet are in slightly different positions than I was used to for the past 5-6 months.
Good thing I had no passengers though.

You know, I've had the car for a couple weeks now (700 miles) and I'm still working on perfecting my shifts. I've driven manuals for 8 years now and this is the first time I've had such a problem. Damn this DBW technology! Grrrr. Sometimes the car is more forgiving, sometimes, no matter how smooth you try, it will just act goofy and bog a little. I sure hope Acura/Honda comes out with a fix for this.

And I don't think it related to the DBW. I had the same problems with my GS-R and then Civic.
So its just me then.

The other thing is I notice I have a problem with public shifting (i.e. shifting with someone else in the car..someone who will notice the shifts not being smooth)

I like how your sig lists a number next to your TSX's like they're ITR's.
As far as the tranny / shifting goes, I have days where the POS Michelins screech upon ANY load placed on them. They're the loudest / worst tires I've had since my days with Goodyear Invicta's on my ol' Eclipse GS.

YES.....I had to start wearing safety shoes at work in the past couple weeks and I've noticed a change in clutch feel that is affecting my shifts!
