Exclamation Clutch or something

I have a 2012 TSX SE with ONLY 6,400 miles on it. its the MT and its hardly ever taken to higher RPMS. But lately when its taken to about 5 or 6K rpm in 1st gear and I shift into 2nd, it grinds! even with the clutch all the way to the ground! A friend of mine who has a 06 RSX Type s thinks it could be the synchro. What do you guys think?

Low clutch fluid? Maybe just a clutch adjustment? Take it to the dealer.

Now today backing into a spot, the shifter got stuck in the spot between Reverse and neutral, I had to turn off the car and see if i could hit it out, it wouldn't come out so I had to basically punch it out. I dont know what the problem could be but its definitely going in

yeah something isn't synchronizing correctly. We have the smoothest shifting cars around. Once it gets fixed you should never have a problem again.

We do?! I think my car is broken then..... I can drive a g35, lancer, and is250 perfectly fine and smooth but when it comes to the tsx it's really rough especially when I only let go of the gas to clutch and transition isn't as smooth....

Took the car in and "nothing was wrong" but the clutch is definitely stiffer and its shifting a whole lot better
