(fg2). i cant tell the dealer 2nd wont engage on a redline powershift cuz then they wont fix it if somethings broke. what do you guys think the problem can be?
I know what you mean. I have the same problem on my si. Just don't shift it as fast and it wont grind. Thats how i do it. But I don't redline the **** out of it for it to bother me as much.
