I had the turning under hard acceleration in lower gears and grinding as well. The only three or four times I can really remember it grinding, I was turning exactly the fashion you were—trying to not get hit or otherwise avoid traffic. The turning and accelerating part, I think, may be a...

So you have a little catch in second as well as grinding? How often does a grind? Does it seem to grind under certain conditions? Yes, I would try fluid. But it seems to be a relatively easy change. What about the master cylinder or clutch delay valve? Is it a Civic or an Integra?

Did you ever get an answer from dealer here?

Sheesh. Those are the exact steps I was getting ready to take. Thanks for taking taking away my hope. 😩😂 If I’d try fluid next. Have you tried the dealer/warranty?

If this is indeed driver error, it would be a first for me and I’ve been driving from more than 30 years. Just doesn’t make sense. I doubt it’s one single issue affecting everybody, but the one thing they all *do* have in common is the car and its mechanical engineering.

I’ve never, ever owned a car in my life that would grind if I didn’t shift slowly or wait until it’s warm or use a certain number of fingers or purposefully or some magic way. You should shift correctly and the car should change gears. I’ve probably owned 30+ cars and have never had this be a...

As far as I can tell, this hasn’t been successful for a lot of people. Drop off your car, they call you 48 hours later saying they can’t reproduce the issue, etc.

I’m trying the pedal adjustment, the fluid, and then a rear engine mount. If that doesn’t fix it, I’m selling it. I’m not driving a sports car—never mind a Type R—that every time I shift into second I’m scared of grinding a gear. It’s just not an enjoyable driving experience.

Exactly what happens to me.

Link?

How are directness and very sharp (to me) reflexes of the steering responses? And does it bounce under hard cornering like the stock FL5 setup?

And? : )

My FL5 has 6000k miles. Had second gear twice about 3500 miles ago. Very disappointing. Didn’t grind again for 2500 miles so I figured it was fine. Just did it again this morning but I’ve noticed one thing that’s consistent: it’s only happened when I’ve unwittingly pulled out in front of someone...

I’ve driven a GT3. The ‘FWD GT3’ is very obviously subjective but feels appropriate to me. It doesn’t actually feel *like* a GT3 but mimics, to me, some kind of approximation of what Porsche might make if they made a $40k FWD car.

But if marginally slowing the car means zero cooling issues and more repeatable performance and increased durability for very little $…

Good response.

I would *love* that. I don’t want to buy coilovers just to fix an issue that shouldn’t have been there to begin with. Too expensive and shouldn’t be necessary on a car with the pedigree of Type Rs. I know I’m being repetitive here but I see the possibility of some confusion over terminology...

Exactly this

As I’ve said on other posts, my only issue at all is the ridiculous bounce under hard cornering. Other than that, it’s perfect to me. Even Best Motoring didn’t like the bounce and found it faster in Comfort mode (which doesn’t reduce the ‘bounce). I *love* the ‘FWD GT3’ harsh but razor sharp...

There has to be more than issue. Trying to imagine what these issues could have in common. Is there a sensor they share, somehow?
