Need help, gear/tranny problem?
Well, this is what happened tonight. Just cruising, decide to take it down and lether wind. Did some fast shifts from 1st into second. Just wouldn't go in! I must have grinded it a good 5 times. I never miss the shift, now I'm thinking two things. Driver error, or I have a problem with the clutch/synchros or the fluid needs to be changed (haven't done 30K mile service yet)
So my concern is, what could be the cause of this? I took it out later and the shifts were fine. But sometimes its hard to constantly take it into gear 1 and 2 at a stop. I sit there and just go up down and it won't go in as easily and requires some force. Could this be the synchros? Or the fluid? I don't mind if its driver error, heck that would be the best case scenario right here, I just want to find out whats up with the tranny. Anyone know why its doing this? Is the clutch not engaging and causing it to grind? Or should I drain the fluids and refill up? I need to do both rear diff and tranny fluid changes soon, could that be it?
Help! =/ Thanks guys

Tranny fluid. Rev match.
You can just bring the car in for the 30k maint. early and tell them your problems.
Alan at Honda World is a good person to talk to. Go to Service, see Danny Thai and tell him I sent you for a discount, unless he doesn't like you.

Re: (mikeiswaydope)
i have 24k on a 05 s2k. i was driving a back farm road in vtec in like 3rd and 4th gear.
when i got to the end and stopped at a light for a major intersection, complete w/ jughandle, i stopped waited for red. green light, i shift into 1st...it wouldnt go into first, like i was hitting the wall...i release clutch let it sit stomp the clutch and shift into 1st, no problem.
this was the only time this ever happened to my daily driver, 4k ago...nothing since, car gremlins, i think.
