The last few weeks I've been noticing a grinding noise when I shift from 1st to 2nd, but only when I shift hard. I hope its nothing to worry about, because I don't seem to be having any other problems in all other gears. Like I said, it's only when I shift hard and it only happens from 1st to 2nd. Anyone know what it could be from, or if it's anything serious that I should worry about?!!

 

i think it happens to all of us 6 speeders. I changed my transmission oil with the new honda stuff and its all gone.. At least for now

 

Whats this stuff called? Cause I dont want mine to do that anymore either.

And di you go to acura, honda or checkers or something to get it. Thanks

 

go to honda and ask for the MTF... Or Acura.. Your choice of poison.

 

yeah if you search it is the new reformulated mtf

 

What do they charge for a quart?

 

I hope thats what he's talking about, because I have felt a little grinding, or notchiness, but no actual noise. and it shouldn't make a noise or feel like a grind when its warm out.

 

At what RPM? Near redline? Cause I've made my 2 6mt's do this shifting hard from 1-2 at redline.
I have the new fluid in my car & I can still do it.
It only happens to cars with power mods. I was unable to get a stock 6mt CLS to do it.

 

I've never had any grinding on my stock 6spd. 5yrs/65K miles so far...

I did have some notchiness on the 1-2 shift when the car was new during the winter (cold fluid), but that went away after the 1st year...

I only get grinding when I miss a shift, and let the clutch out before I'm in (2nd) gear... which might happen once a year...

 

I get a bit of notchiness if I'm shifting mildly from 1st to 2nd, typically in the 3000-3500 range, but it doesn't happen consistently. It never happens if I shift past 4K.

When it happens to me, it only seems to occur if I rev the engine slowly and shift in the 3.5-4k range. If I get into the gas more aggressively or shift above 4k, it doesn't seem to happen and it's definitely not a grind it's just notchy.
