Is the 1-2 grind fix TSB that's posted here the most recent version, or have there been amendments?

i thought people dont have this problem anymore...

 

As far as I know there is only one version of that particular TSB.

Lots of people still have this problem but you hear much less about it when the ambient temperature in North America is low. The symptoms are much more apparent with heat, so you will see more posts in a few months. It is yet to be seen if the '02's are past the issue.

 

i thnk its called mis shifting....quick and hard....thats how i do it.

 

It's not mis-shifting, it's a design flaw. Why do you think Honda would issue a fix for driver error, and why would the board have hundreds of posts about this problem if it could be fixed by simply driving as well as you?

 

It is not driver error

 

Hey guys

I got a 2002 s2000 and I do notice that it tends to grind when going to second and a little bit when going to third, its like it feels notchy as you shift it. has any of u guys notice that?

 

My '02 has a funky second gear...sometimes it makes a screeching sound when I downshift to second. It's not grinding...it just "squeeks" as I slide it into the gate. But it only happens when I downshift. Other times when I'm going from 1st to 2nd it is hard to engage, but no grind yet. I'm keeping my eye on it.

 

YOU mis shift. Others do not. Deal with that. This is a heat related issue for some transmissions that is worse for MY 2000 transmissions. The grind sounds and feel like my winter car's transmission when I try to shift it to 6th gear (it is a 5 speed and reverse is in place of 6th
