Issue on 3rd and 4th gear grind

[BobsterSI]

Hello. Anybody have this issue on their 10th gen si.? I barely bought my car 3 weeks ago but I’ve noticed it for the past week. 1st and 2nd gear is fine. But when I go to 3rd gear, I sometimes hit a grind going to gear. 4th gear sometimes have the same problem. Some days the gears are very smooth. I don’t want to go there with the reverse gear. I kinda need some force going in.

I don’t know if it’s a weakness for the 10th gen si. I usually warm up the car before I first drive off each day on a cold start.

And I drove my friend’s 9th gen before with stock specs and there’s no problems with his gears. Very smooth.

Will it fix the problem if I get a Clutchmaster? Or get the Acuity shifting kit?

I'll go to show to the dealer on warranty. Put plaster on it is not a good idea IMO

Change the fluid first before you do anything else

I will not do any work on MT on warranty.
Why a warranty ?
A 2107 Civic must not need a new fluid

I just got my car from the dealership about a month ago for this used SI.. Higher mileage than usual on 34k on a 2017 but I love the car and I'm going to keep it for a lot more years.. I don't trust dealerships with the updates of the fluids.. They even put 87 gas when I drove it off the lot.. I felt the difference way better when I emptied out my tank and put 91 grade.. Going to to do every fluid change so I can start keeping records of it..

You guys have experiences with Honda OEM MTF.? I rarely drive it hard, well sometimes. Just a daily commuter car..

I was thinking of the Amsoil. Seeing the some of the threads here, people say they have good results to smoother shifting but the costs of 4 quarts is about $65

I feel like the new Si have weak transmission and could be the synchros. Im experiencing a 4th gear grind on full throttle, but cruising its fine.

Have you fix this? .. I’m 4000 miles in & the 4th gear happens to grind at high rpms? I haven’t really found anything online that could help or give me a definite answer
