one true grind when it was cold. I have about 700miles on it so hopefully the notchy feel will go away. I have to baby the 1-2 shift early in the morning though. The first couple of minutes after taking off in the morning is my only fear.

I have felt gears when a couple times when doing a 1-2 shift with low rpms <3000. There wasn't a sound but you could feel it in the shift knob.

 

no grinds at 1.7k happy miles

 

i have a 2002 and i know a couple times there has been a grind from 1-2 when i had the clutch fully down. i have had one grind shifting below vtec when it was cold.

I have an '02 with 4300 miles on it (in less than 2 months). I grind into 2nd quite often (probably 2~3 times per day), and it is getting worse. I think it has to be a defect, but it only does it at high RPMs. If I push the clutch in, hold it, and wait for the RPMs to fall, it shifts into 2nd fine. I can shift into any other gear quickly without any problems at all. I would like to have it fixed, but am waiting for it to get worse, so that the dealorship can experience it.

 

Thanks for the response guys.
I cleared the headlights myself with the help of a friend, took off the bumper, removed headlights, used a heat gun on the silicone to separate the casement, undid 3 screws and took out the amber reflector, resiliconed the casement and put it all back together. 4hrs. Made the S look even better.
I dont feel the 1-2 grind anymore (since 2300miles and currently at 3200miles) but I definitely notice that when I shift right before what the fuel cut off which is meant to be (9200???not sure, I've never hit it) it is an extremely smooth shift.

 

FWIW: I have a 01 with 10,000 miles and have NOT grinded any gears what so ever.

 

550 miles and no grinds.

Praying for nice weather this weekend. WoHooo!

 

I had another minor grind at about 3500rpm. It was just shortly leaving in the morning and the tranny is still cold.

I this only the second time but it is pissing me off. 1300kms as of today.

 

8000 miles. One 1-2 grind a week average. 6 months of ownership. 25 grinds roughly . I think it is all driver's error.

 

-have 250 miles and i think 1-2 may be notchy, is that normal? (and will it stop) Mike
