Yes. There was a survey done a while back and I seem to remember most dont have it. I just tried searching for it but the search feature sucks. Somebody should do something about that

Yeah, I remember creating that survey although I don't recall if it was this forum or "the other". It was comprised of three posts. Those that have it, those that don't, and those that occasionally experienced it. Someone else took this on and created an Excel graph out of it. A statistical melee ensued and the findings were sent to the Supreme Court for a final ruling. If the search feature didn't suck so bad, we'd find that ruling. Then again, maybe a moderator just deleted it..

Fortunately, the only grinds I've experienced have been caused by me letting out the clutch a little prematurely. It makes no difference whether I'm going from 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd or whatever. If I let out the clutch before settling the gear, the little bitch will grind.

Mine sort of went away. I haven't experienced any problems with grinding for awhile now.

When the car was brand spanking new, there was periodic 1-2 grinds, nothing major, and now after 12k, never happens.
