Is 2nd Gear Grind "Still a thing"?

i think most 2nd gear grind issues are driver error

I've gotten to 6500 miles and the 1 to 2 shift is not as nice as the others...not a grind, but not buttery nice....so I plan to change the fluid.

For those with issue, the AC Delco seems like the best opion based on skimming a lot of posts (so not scientific at all. )

I've tried aftermarket fluids but always come back to Honda MTF. it's worked well for me. never had a grind with it.

I would agree, its not a grind. maybe just slushy. I heard the RMM would help fix this. Correct me if i'm wrong.

I replaced the transmission fluid with ACDelco Syncromesh at 8k

I have the Hybrid Racing short throw shifter and PRL RMM.

I still manage to grind 1st to 2nd when accelerating hard and shifting fast.

Sometimes it wont even go into 2nd and I have to slow down and try again.

But as someone mentioned above, probably a driver error...


BTW, I had the same experience with my 07 FA5 Si
