i bought my type s with 26,000 miles and when going from 1st to 2nd sometimes grinds and also 2nd to 3rd does anyone else have this problem, i know of 2 people but i took it to the dealership and said " its suppose to do that" anybody else???

 

yeah i and a very slight grind going from 1st to 2nd but it only does it somtimes but from what ive heard its a common problem with the rsx

 

Yea my brand new 06 Type S does a slight grind from 1st to 2nd but only when shifting at a low rpm.

 

supposed to do that? Yeah, bullshit.


No transmission is supposed to grind. Ever.

 

You and everyone else with an RSX.

 

02 here and never had a grind before...

A lot of RSX's had that problem. Mine is a little notchy but nothing horrible. Go on ClubRSX and do a search for SYNCROS there is a PSD file you can download and bring into Acura. Basically it is a recall on the 5 and 6 syncros i believe and they should replace them. I don't believe your tranny will be as smooth as butter but it shouldn't grind.

You'd be suprised.

 

My '06 type-s grind whenever my ******* friends "race shift" (ie. dont press the clutch to the floor). Ive never had a grind that I didnt anticipate.

i had the grind in mine from 1st to 2nd, had the tranny done under warranty, then had 2nd to 3rd gear grind!!! ended up doing my own rebuild of the tranny to what i wanted

 

I just changed my axels and now im having problems when driving and i push my clutch in nothing happens its like i just took my foot off the gas when the rpms should be dropping now car is grinding did not have any problems till i changed my axels if i did not put them in right would it do that PS someone told me to change clutch master cylinder did that and still have problem HELP

 

Well if your axles were not in far enough than they would make grinding noises even if you rolled the car. Very distinctive.

When you installed the axles did you just push them in place or what?

The easiest way to fix them if they are not in all the way is to take the tire off, blast the 32mm nut off w/ an impact gun. Then get a good grip on the axle from underneath and use it like a slide hammer to bang the axle into the tranny. Even a few millimeters off and the axles aren't in all the way. Is there a gap at all between the tranny?

 

i need to look under the car il get back to uthx

 

i just blew the syncros in my type s lastnight 1st to 2nd..... its got 47500 miles

 

Just make sure the clutch pedal is to the floor.

 

I just posted this same prob on a other topic.but i have an 04 type s with 9k.i just got it in april from a dealr.when switchn to sec at low rpm i kinda gota force it in.what should i do?other then the 05-06 is there a recall on the older rsx?

 

If you have a cludrsx account this will answer all of your questions. This is for all people that grind, or think they have any trany or synchro problems.
There was a problem with the transmission but it wasn't severe enough for a recall.

throw in some mtf redline tranny fluid....it solved my problem....dealership they claim its normal

 

my 02 si grinds from 1-2nd sometimes

dealer told me that unless it didnt go into gear there was no problem

 

How bad is the grinding? I had a slight grind in my Tranny (Prelude,H22a1) on the 2-3 shift and I switched the tranny fluid to GM syncromesh with friction modifiers, and I haven't had a single grind since
