The 8th gen had grinds into 2nd to the point where the shifter fails to go into 2nd (only when going to red line in 1st and only sometimes) and you have to push it into 2nd over again.More details. I have rough shifts into 2 and 4 depending on what "angle" I slide the lever into the "gate".
Definitely not grinds, but rough shift kinda like a gear crunch.
If you want to experience a grind, roll into a gas station spot in 1st gear at 5mph and then throw it into reverse before coming to a full stop.
I experienced that regularly in my 8th and 9th gen Si's. So far with my 10th gen its happened 3 times. Hopefully it doesnt become another constant issue.The 8th gen had grinds into 2nd to the point where the shifter fails to go into 2nd (only when going to red line in 1st and only sometimes) and you have to push it into 2nd over again.
I have never experienced this in the 10th gen, but there is some crunchiness, which is not the same thing. I did grind a gear once, but it was my fault as the clutch was not at the floor (i'm pretty sure) and it wasn't into 2nd gear anyways. The Type R definitely has the grinding issue that has plagued past Honda's.
Have fun!
Yea, I've opened up that center console a few times now, better to do everything while you're already in there. I've got all three of those and the rocker upgrade + short shift adapter. It's a pretty nice shifter after some work!Thank you @MGZ . Definitely looking forward for my centering spring , lockdown adapter, and base bushings.
Now I have 3 reasons to open up the console
+1. I never really had a grind the gearbox just felt rough and notchy with only 13500 miles on it once I switched to the Amsoil synchromesh every gear change is smoother as butter.I changed my fluid to amsoil and it got rid of my grinds
How many quarts was it to fully flush and refill? 3 quarts enough?+1. I never really had a grind the gearbox just felt rough and notchy with only 13500 miles on it once I switched to the Amsoil synchromesh every gear change is smoother as butter.
Eff. That sucks. TBH I haven't redlined in first more than a few times. This car has so much more oomph down low I don't usually feel the need unlike my 8th gen. Especially with the ktuner.I experienced that regularly in my 8th and 9th gen Si's. So far with my 10th gen its happened 3 times. Hopefully it doesnt become another constant issue.
Did you only do the transmission or did you also change out the differential and transfer case?I changed my fluid to amsoil and it got rid of my grinds
