THANK GOD MY 08 doesnt have any problems. It shifts like butter even on a cold and rainy/snowy morning. I bought my Si to get away from terrible transmission problems i was experiencing with my previous car.

I feel for all of you going through this problem though. I just sold my 2002 Mustang GT for this reason "the infamous Tremec3650 2nd gear grind".

I even had the TSB done on that car with the updated gear sets/synchros ect ect ect... First shift out of the parking lot after the over haul GRINDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. So dont expect THIS or any TSB to work miracles or do anything for that matter. Doing the TSB on my Mustang made the issue worse and presented a notchy 3rd gear as well.

Getting the TSB done isnt the hard part, Its convincing the dealer that YOUR car needs it done.

MY ONE TIP TO ALL, DONT DEAL WITH THE SERVICE PEONS. GO STRAIGHT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. IT WILL SAVE YOU ALOT OF TRIPS WITH THE OUTCOME OF "CANT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM"
