1st to 2nd grind

JDM06SI · 02-27-2007, 04:47 PM

ok so whenever i hit vtec and shift it from 1st to 2nd it grinds in a little could that be my syncro in transmission or is that how k series motors are from 1st to 2nd only...

I got the same exact problem. I just shift earlier than redline like around 7500.

Please search on "syncromesh" and that should get you the help you need :)

I have the Comptech S/S and if I shift from 1/2 VERY fast it will grind. That is normal for these cars. Especially with the S/S..car wasn't designed to shift that fast I suppose

I have yet to grind or pop out, but i definetly experience notchyness with both 2nd and 3rd gears.

JDM06SI · 02-27-2007, 05:05 PM

is that something with the k series transmission where u have to give it a second before shifting in or what?

SiRyan · 02-27-2007, 05:06 PM

Changing your MTL will definately relieve most of the notchiness.

JDM06SI · 02-27-2007, 05:08 PM

ahh ok thats a relief thought it might be bad syncros

I don't. I mean if I shift like f'n lightning with my s/s it will grind. If I shift fast, but not lighning fast it's fine...

It could be bad syncros. I had that problem since the day I bought my si. Took it to the dealer and they replaced 1-3+ syncros. You could tell someone was not nice to it taking it for a test drice. I would be @ a light in N and push the clutch in and shift to 1st and get a grind. How many miles are on your car now?

JDM06SI · 02-27-2007, 05:18 PM

well i do shift it lightning fast and thats why it grinds but yah if i shift it lightly it wont grind and my car has about 28,000 miles on it

Does the grinding only happens when you shift fast at redline? Or does it also grind even when you dont shift as fast?

My si will feel notchy in 2cd gear alot at lower rpm 3rd 2 but not a much as 2cd but at high rpm's i can shift fast with no problems i think it likes shifting at high rpm's better its real smooth for me.
