Just got my S2 back from Brown's Honda in Glen Burnie, MD. They gave me a rental, did both the 054 & 055 with no questions asked, and did the seat-belt recall.

So far... so good. The tranny is much tighter (break-in?) and no grinds so far. I will however shift much slower and NEVER slam the gears as suggested by our newly found factory friend.

They also replaced the 3rd gear main because I also complained of a 2-3 grind. Good people and good quality work. Anyone in the area is suggested to ask for Jeremy in service. They also locked my car up at night (inside) and washed it before I picked it up.
