New Acura - Transmission break in

[BCH]

Apologies if this has ben rehashed in the forum multiple times. I have a new 2025 ITS with about 150 miles on it.

The gear shift isn't as smooth as I recall from another ITS I test drive with a few higher miles. Hard to describe, but it feels a bit more notchy, requires a bit more effort to move gears into gate.

Is this something that becomes smoother with more miles? I also saw that potentially changing the transmission fluid would help with that?

Thanks

I've noticed it's become easier to shift after putting 1500 miles on mine.

Unless it's cold then it's kind of stiff again til it warms up. Should get easier over time TLDR.

I bought mine around 1500 and it just rolled 4500 it’s much smoother

Same here, when it was brand new, moving the stick out in and out of gates felt like I wasn't pushing the clutch in. At 2200 miles, it feels way better and smoother.
