im having a little trouble with my short shifter, when ever i go from 2nd to 3rd at cruising speeds its grinds, and sometimes i miss the gear . wierd tho its only happens when im cruising.....maybe im not clutching right????if anyone with an 06 si has this same problem or if anyone has any tips let me know it hirts to hear my baby grind.(hurts my soul ouch!)

 

i have that problem but i dont have the short shifter...

 

i have the ss also and i have that problem w/ 3rd gear. the thing is, ive always had a problem w/ 3rd gear, sometimes it wont go in or itll grind or it'll be like a phantom gear, feeling as if it went into gear but it doesnt. i just got used to it..

 

i have the same problem, no ss though. im taking my car to honda next week to get an oil change and have them look at it and make their decision on whether or not it will or wont be rebuilt. im assuming it will, because if it keeps up its gonna ruin the synchros and wear thin on the clutch. imma start a post about that and see who else had problems

 

Double check your install. If everything is ok then nothing is wrong. Honda has always been known to have tranny problems.

 

i have the same prob when goin into 3rd too....guess its just like the rev "hang" the vehicle has...i kinda just got used to it and learned when the gear was really "in" gear.....seems like alot of si's are having this prob too....

 

I used to have this prob.

But then I started rev matching. Now the better the rev match the more buttery smooth the shift feels

 

I used to have this problem, but I got the Comptech SS and I haven't had the problem since...

Strange that people are still having issues after the SS is installed.

 

oh man, i thought i was the only one. its good to kno that its in a lot of the 8th gen Si's so i can get some feedback on it. Also, what RPM do you rev match?

 

no kidding there is a shifter problem...I have had my car in now for the second time with having gears grind before going into gear...they were able to fix one of them (from third to fourth) but now I am having issues with second to third...barely noticable but its there...they rebuilt the tranny to fix the first one and something must have been wrong when they put it back together...hope for the best! I am thinking of getting the short shifter to fix this issue also and the bushings by Corsport.
