Sometimes when shifting from 1st to 2nd I get a barely noticeable grind. As far as I can tell, it hapens only when the transmission is cold, and it goes away after the first couple of shifts. It never happens when downshifting into 2nd, or between any other gears. Does it mean my 2nd gear synchros are going?

I know it's not a problem right now, but I need to know if I should budget having my gear box checked out (and maybe fixed) when I'll do the clutch as well in about 20-30k kms.

Edit: It's a 5th gen Prelude, 5spd, 56k km, all stock, flushed ALL fluids 5k km ago.

try letting your motor warm up more before you drive it.
