Change your tranny fluid with some Honda MTF. It could be a lot of things, but start from there.

It's probably your Clutch goin out. What does your clutch feel like??? Also try adjusting your clutch cable. i have run into this problem before. If your clutch cable has to much slack in it your pressure plate isn't disengaging all the way.

Integra81, when you shift, does it sometimes grind? I have problems similar to yours, but my gears grind.

adjust the clutch cable first and check fluid level in the tranny.

Is it just 1-2 shift, or 2-3 shift, or all gears?

i ran into the same problem with my car and me and rio ninja though of everything but came up with nothing and then it just fixed itself. the only thing i can think of is that your clutch isn't disengaging all the way causing it to grind

sounds like time to replace tranny oil with OEM honda tranny oil. I did that and it helped my shifting and almost stopped grinding at higher RPM.

I think its time to replace your tranny or synchro and hubs not your tranny fluid honda trannys usually start grinding going into third because my s1 is starting to and a guy I know replaced his tranny three times because of the third gear grinding.
