I have the grind too. It was real noticable when my stock clutch started to wear out. Then when i switched to an exedy stage 2 clutch and fidanza flywheel it stopped. Now i got about 15,000 on the new clutch and the grind just came back I change my tranny fluid about every 10,000 miles with Honda MTF, Ive tried the GM syncromesh and the Honda stuff feels better to me. Im gonna change my fluid soon, blead the clutch, and adjust the clutch pushrod to see if it makes it any better

we also are putting down more than triple your power and tq

yeah mine started doing this about 3 weeks ago, but only when i am in the throttle hard and upshifting. its not bad but it is happening.

[VividSI]

ive got the same problem except its hard to use gears 1,2,and 3. I took it to honda and they fixed 1 and 2 somehow, but it still grinds when going into 3rd at an high rpm. I have said the word syncro so much it has lost meaning. They dont know whats wrong with it so I have to take it back again. I dont think they want to drop the tranny even though i keep telling them its obviously a syncro issue. Im glad I have the extended warranty but I just hope they dont find the quaife lsd and void it. If its not covered what do you guys think. CTR Tranny or FG2?

they have a shit ton more power though. i rev pretty high and have a cn kit with 123k on my car. no grind. but im waiting for it

[VividSI]

I had to take my car in again and am now sporting the civic sedan. They said they will have it for at least 2 weeks and that honda care has to come out and look at it while taking pictures. Say they dont cover it and say that I owe them if I want my tranny fixed. I could part it out and then sell everything. If I did that I would just get the FG coupe with nothing more than the hfp mods and just keep it oem.
