- 10th Gen Civic SI Coupe

Hey all,
Relatively new here. I own a 10th gen (2018) civic si coupe I’ve had for about 6 months. After about 1k miles, the shifter feel really started deteriorating while driving the car daily, and I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with relief on this? I’ve gathered it’s a common problem, but short of installing a short shifter (I can’t mod, this is a lease at the moment) I haven’t heard of any real solutions. The shifter feel is the worst at low-mid rpms (2.5k-3.5k) and going from 1st to 2nd. Other gears (2-3, 5-6) feel very knotchy as well, but I feel the gear actually being actively knocked out of place by what feels like teeth at an alarming consistency when shifting in to 2nd. Generally speaking, the higher I shift and more spirited I drive, and the quicker I make the shift, the less it does this. But on a daily commute where I’m not wanting to shift the car at 5k, it’s a real issue.
Any insight??? I love the car, but this has become a real issue and really detracts from the driving experience. My focus on the shifter feel distracts me and I feel like it hurts my overall shift. As a side note, when the shifter does go into second like butter, the shift itself ends up being perfectly smooth and effortless.
Any thoughts?
