Had my red s2k named 'Ruby' just 1 month and 3 days as of today. Never grinded any gears before until today. I was probably at 3500 rpm or so in first gear, going into second gear when ...crunch!!
Was such a loud sound I didn't even know what the sound was at first. Didn't know that grinding your gears could sound so terrible. I read about it but never experienced it or heard it before. Thinking back, I think my foot was not all the way down on the clutch when I was changing into second.

I know Ruby won't drop dead on me, and I'm sure Honda made their cars well enough to survive one nasty grindage....but I feel so bad...not so mad....but bad...like I injured her or something.



She's got blankets on her now and is recovering in the garage. My first manual car and never done such a thing before. Guess I'm getting abit more confident driving, and making stupid errors such as this!

as I try to forget that horrible sound!!

 

No grind for me yet.

 

Mine's in the Honda shop right now getting this problem fixed. Under warranty. Along with the buzzing on decel in 2nd and 3rd gear. New clutch included.

I'm going to take mine in for the buzzing and grinding. Is the new clutch part of the TSB? Thanks

I am taking mine in for a road test on Friday for the 1st to 2nd grind.

Yours is probably fine, just one grind. You'll know if you have a problem if it grinds more when it isn't your fault and in high rpms. That is when you take it to a dealer and then the fun begins.

 

i cried and cried

 

I just felt dumb, and tried again.

 

I got mine checked and even if it didnt grin when he was test driving he took my word that it does grin and he will change my syncros. Good serveice!!!
