  1. Has the 2nd gear grind happened to your FL5 yet?

    I hear you, i took mine to Honda and said that everything is normal. A good buddy of mine that’s been working for Honda for a while told me that there has been multiple complaints about it. Funny thing is very few people are willing to admit to it. Im just adjusting to this car and it kind of...

  3. Has the 2nd gear grind happened to your FL5 yet?

    I been having the exact issue and its so disappointing that this is what’s going on with a top tier car from Honda. Been driving stick for a while and i think that if i don’t resolve this soon i might sell the car. Just not enjoyable to drive. I really dont want to drop money on a brand new car...
  4. Has the 2nd gear grind happened to your FL5 yet?

    Yeah some people swear that this car has no issues and its all driver fault. Ive been adjusting my driving style to the fl5 but man im kind of on the fence of not keeping it. I was going to do the acuity instruments but i dont want to mod the car. Yeah i saw your post as well and i thought damn...

  6. Has the 2nd gear grind happened to your FL5 yet?

    I will most likely do the same as well, how hard or easy would you say the install is?
  7. Has the 2nd gear grind happened to your FL5 yet?

    Thank you for all this, I love modding my cars but always thought after market shifters and accessories were unnecessary. But i think i was wrong and going to have to try it out.
  8. Has the 2nd gear grind happened to your FL5 yet?

    yes thats what i think as well, im just the lucky one. But i will say that changing my driving style has helped a lot and man this car is amazing when no crunching or grinding is involved. Have you changed out the bushings on yours? If so what did you go with? I went on Acuity but it doesn’t...
  9. Has the 2nd gear grind happened to your FL5 yet?

    I will try to ask the dealership but its so hard to get them to do anything. And yes all the stuff you recommended i already had it in mind but i just need time and I’ll get it done. Thanks for the advice. I just didn’t expect this from a so called performance vehicle. I’ve been driving stick...
  10. Has the 2nd gear grind happened to your FL5 yet?

    thank you for this, my fk8 was amazing. I been changing my driving style as well and it has been feeling a little better. I have a good friend that has been working at Honda for like 25 years and he told me that a few individuals and loyal customers of Honda have called and had the same...
  11. Has the 2nd gear grind happened to your FL5 yet?

    Im selling it soon. Cant stand this but yeah you are right
  12. Has the 2nd gear grind happened to your FL5 yet?

    All good dude and damn you make it sound so simple and im not saying it in a wrong way and yes you have explained it perfectly on what im going through and i guess im just frustrated that given that its a new car, i dont want it to be worked on because its a new car. And yeah it might be fixable...
  13. Has the 2nd gear grind happened to your FL5 yet?

    No i am not negative one bit and im out of Southern California. By the way its not a noise, i know a noise will for sure mean a red flag but its a feel in the shifter that i feel every time i shift, like the shift do go in smooth and if they do its rare. I am also not new to driving manual cars...

  15. Has the 2nd gear grind happened to your FL5 yet?

    Thank you so much and yes that is exactly what im doing, i have an appointment and well i just need paper trail. I know Honda will do nothing. Im just disappointed and yes i have to move on. Thank you for your advice, i just been on the hunt for information and did find others with similar...
  16. Has the 2nd gear grind happened to your FL5 yet?

    Thank you so much, i didn’t even think of that. I was just thinking that a brand new car should have no flaws but im wrong. Its just sad that to take it to any Honda dealer the answer will most likely be, nothing is wrong and everything is normal, or driver error and dont buy stick if you cant...
  17. Has the 2nd gear grind happened to your FL5 yet?

    Yeah its a grind/crunch feel but no noise, i just cant stand it and it doesn’t feel normal. It happens with up shifting and downshifting. I didn’t have that with the FK8. And i use to go hard on the FK8
  18. Has the 2nd gear grind happened to your FL5 yet?
