it takes care of all gears

 

It's discussed at great length at clubrsx, but this is a way, way better forum. In a nutshell, a considerable number of our cars grind slightly from 1-2 and 2-3, occasionally, particularly in cold weather. There have been a couple tech service bulletins related to this and some people have had luck with the dealer helping them out.

Apparently the issue was very prominent in the 02, still there in 03 and in some of the 04's. My '04 has no such problems, but the Vin# falls outside the range of that TSB you posted, so maybe they fixed it on mine.

Some people have suggested that it's poor shifting technique, but who knows...

I've also heard that people use different tranny fluid (royal purple, redline and especially GM synchromesh) and it helps considerably.

Note that this is all just a compilation of other info I've found on the forums, not my personal experience, since my car doesn't grind thankfully.

Make it a jpg.

 

so I should take my car to the dealer and show then the bulletin and tell them to fix it? They would fix it for free since it is still under warranty??

 

I talked to a service writer here in Memphis and he said that they will fix it for free if you ask them, but they aren't gonna notify like they would for a recall.

good to know. can somebody change that document i loaded to a JPG image and link me to it? then i can edit my post.

 

Man If you have any problems with your RSX just take it in and tell them your problem,,,,Acura will try and fix all problems for you if you have warranty

 

Be careful about going up there. The service writer that I talked to told me that Acura of Memphis is putting a stop to warranty work on even slightly modified vehicles. Even Comptech installed at the dealership. If you can take the mods off with little effort (i.e. bolt-ons), it might be better to take em off just to be safe. I realise that warrantys are made to be voided, but if you can get work done for free with a minimal amount of work, then why not take advantage. Usually if you're cool with them, they'll overlook it.

 

does the grinding problem exist in type r tranny's?

 

Maybe its just luck but I have never had trouble shifting into any gear. 02 RSX

 

u know whats weird for me too, i changed shiftknobs and i seem to be shifting better

 

if taking the tranny to fix and it still happens after they fix it, they will have to replace it with a new one? Can a 05 type s tranny be used on a 03 type s?

 

is there an EP3 service bulletin?

I'm sure there's a few lemons out there, but i believe most of the problems come down to poor shifting.

i dont think most problems come down to poor shifting. i mean why would the put out this service bulletin if it was most people shifting poorly
