I just have notchiness going into second and I hear a metal on metal sound, like "chhweeekkk," going into 3rd. I dont think it's necessarily a grind, but it def sounds diff than the other gears going in. It's esp noticeable in the cold mornings, but then again I heard this is an issue with most front wheel drive cars. I just dont know what's normal and what's not.

Anyone have specs on the new honda mtf....?
I have an 08 with the same issue, no pop out but 2nd and 3rd scratch often especially when the car is cold. I have some Amsoil MTF sitting in the garage but i havent had a chance to put it in yet. I migh go do that soon.
