I also have an 08 Si. It grinds for me from going 1-->2 and 2-->3, and I am unhappy.

Also, when I push the clutch down, the rev hangs for about .7s - 1.2s, somewhere in that range... should I be getting my shit flashed too? lol it IS an 08.. so, I don't know if it is needed or not.

No, i dont think you need a reflash. What we experience now is suppose to be the new and imrpoved unfortunately. The rev hang isnt so bad, except i guess it can wear the clutch a little more if shifting fast. But the freaking transmission is making me want to trade this in for a GTI next year.

I wonder if these transmission problems are common. Like with the RSX typeS.

I have mentioned the rev hang to my dealer when I first bought my SI and they said that's how it is. There's nothing they can do except wait for an update from HOA. As for the buckling when it's cold, there has been no update or reflash for that. You just have to let the idle drop atleast to 1.5k and apply the gas smoothly. It's ideal for 3 bars of temp, but that can take 2-3 minutes in the winter.

I can avoid the buckling feeling leaving for work without a full warm up, but it's impossible when going home. The reason is because there are alot of bumps in the parking lot of my job and it shifts my foot when i go over them, causing the car to buck even in third gear.
