I have had my tC for about 6 months, I have been driving stick for quite a while. I drive normal until my car is warmed up. But if I do a hard pull from 1st to 2nd sometimes it will grind and not want to go in gear(2nd). I have no problems going into 3rd, or 4th on the interstate. Just 2nd.

Has anyone had these problems? What Fixes?

 

maybe try changing tranny fluid, it might help.. i cant power shift 3rd to 4th cuz my girl F'ed up my car trying to learn stick, but it did help a little when i changed my tranny fluid.. i used redline mt90

 

That could help what is the recommended change interval? Im at like 43k and Im an 08.

 

A hard driven 5spd should be changed anywhere from 30-50k depending on if you auto-x if you're using full synthetic IMO. If you haven't changed the clutch, put on a short shifter, or adjusted the clutch pedal, grinding from 1st to 2nd is a little odd unless you're just not used to the delay in the throttle and long throw characteristics of the pedal and gearshift. I had issues with 3rd before I got shifter bushings and my short shifter. Now everything is perfect. I would have gotten used to it eventually but the shift throw was way too far anyways.

 

I got out of an integra with a throw of about 1.5inches from 1st to 2nd...That could be it. Im going Eneos gear oil come Feb/March.

 

Could this be a syncro problem with the tranny as weel?

 

Could this be a syncro problem with the tranny as well?

 

Being an 08 with less than 50k I doubt it unless the tranny was extremely abused.

 

Ya true I didnt think about the miliage on it.

 

A woman owned the car before me. She took my map dvd and mats.

 

REPLACE YOUR TRANSMISSION! lol
