Second Gear Grind 😢

[HustedDrums]

I haven't had any issues with my FL5 with shifting. The transmission actually feels much nicer in comparison to my old 2021 Type-R. I get no grinds, or lockouts like I used to on my old FK8. I used to get a gear grind sometimes into second gear on my 21 Type R.

CDV removal might be something to look into as well

I don’t think a track day would affect your warranty. Competitive racing would

I'm at 1,200 miles and have been getting more resistance or chatter downshifting to second gear at higher rpm. Not quite a full grind, but could have been if I really forced the issue. It reminded me of the Throttle house mentioning grinding second while downshifting. I have not had any issues with 1-2 shifts. No issues when double clutching downshifts. This is with everything at operating temps too. This is my 4th manual Honda so I'm used to 2nd and 3rd gear grinds during upshifts, but never had issues with downshifts before.

Oof. Happened again today during a redline shift. I need to try the AC Delco trans fluid change and see if it helps
