A Manual transmission modifer additive can be put into your tranny fluid, or you can use that AMsoil **** that has the modifiers already in it. This will help the issue, NOT solve it. I guess from what i have heard this is an old problem that has haunted Acura Integras for years. Good luck getting honda to fix it.
Hell I know exactly what you mean, today I was oulling out in traffic and had to zip in...I went for 2nd GRIND:SHOCKED::SHOCKED:!!! I was like WTF? So I hard lanched it again and this time slowed down my shifting Viola no grind. My k series Accord did it in 4th.
