That's exactly what I meant. Compared to FK8, it's improved and fewer people have the issue. But can't deny that the issue is still there and can't say it's usually the user's error.
In my case, it ground every few hundred miles. I hope the dealer can fix it if it gets worse and before the...
Yes apparently you are lucky and people and issues are unlucky. You said "improve" and that's very accurate. Honda improved the transmission but didn't completely fix it. That's why people here still complain about the second gear. How can you judge it's user's error without actually...
You are correct that there is no statistical data because there's nothing the general customers can do and the OEM will do nothing if the quantity of samples is not big enough or critical safety related. Even someone like savagegeese with a lot of influence can hardly get anything from Honda...
How do you explain there are more driver errors on FL5 2nd gear, compared to other sport cars like STI, GR corolla, z, etc?
You have a good second gear and never grind because you are lucky. It doesn't mean others' second gears are all good or it's usually the driver's fault.
I drove my z more...
I think it's the second gear synchro, assembly process or quality issue. Or it could be a design issue if something like improper tolerances are allowed on drawings. From what I've seen, all those fixes like fluid, RMM, pedal adjustment, etc. would just mitigate the issue instead of fixing it...
The black wing doesn't bother me at all and I actually prefer the after market look. The car will be modified anyways so it saves me some money for the wing, at least for now.
Just had a second gear grind this morning. This was the third time. The first two could be driver error cause I wasn't paying attention, but after that I was pretty cautious but it still happened. This time I was quickly merging to the left lane from 0mph, hard acceleration and fast shifting. I...
Hi, I'm looking at ENKEI T6R 18x9.5 +45 and Blizzak LM005 255/40R18. Wondering if you see any fitment issues like rubbing? Tirerack says it's an aggressive fitment and might require fender mods. Thanks in advance.
