Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

I'll still go with the FL5, but I don't doubt seeing the drag race will sway some people to the FK8.

I mean the biggest issue here to me is the grind in the FL5. I realllllly thought they would have fixed that.

Welp I guess it is what it is.

Which video was the gear grinding mentioned? I don't recall seeing it the TH review.

I mean, it's not a surprise to me. My FG2 (2009) has it and it was widespread enough that dealerships were offering free "fixes" for it, but all is did minimize it. Feels like its been like that for all sport/performance oriented 6 speed transmissions.

Man with the lukewarm straight line performance, you guys let me know if you want to ditch your place in line. I’ll gladly take that spot

James says that at 11:17 in the review video - "I grinded second gear".

I've never driven a manual that had native grinding issues TBH. Atleast, not without user error. STI, EVO, every GTI/Golf R, Audi s4/s5/rs5, porches etc etc.

I'm assuming it's a Honda thing?

Maybe, it was notoriously bad in the S2000 too

Yep. At least with honda's post 2000's. I remember my very first car, mid 90's hatch didn't have any issues with the first engine and after a swap.

Honda gearboxes don’t like being slammed into gear apparently. I’ve grinded my FK8 twice in 28,000 km. Both times I was tired. 4th lockout has happened many times, but that’s the shift gates in the FK2/FK8. It wears down and goes away over time

If you get grinds normally -> go to the dealer. The 4th lockout should’ve been fixed with the new shift fork in the FL5.
