Has the 2nd gear grind happened to your FL5 yet?

I also agree deleting the CMC and changing fluid won't make a fundamental difference.

I assume you meant CDV. Deleting the CMC would probably make a difference

As an update. I have not had another grind on up shifting. I had to do a high-speed merge and shifted at over 6k rpms into second without issue. I am now getting more confidence in the transmission. Down shift i had what feels like a lookout going into second a few times. I still need to change the fluid ehich i hope fixes this.

You adjusted the pedal, yeah?

Yeah based on that video i shared which also had me adjust the set screw.
I did it once before but not that screw which sets the retracted stop of the pedal.

My second gear "grind" is 100% my fault. The shifter rowing from 1st to 2nd is short; moving the shifter out of 1st into 2nd is measured in milliseconds, while my left leg isn't getting the pedal down nearly as fast. I must consciously row the shifter out of 1st gear long enough for my foot to get planted. The last stick I drove consistently was a 5-speed '96 Civic DX over eight years ago - going from that to this is remarkable. That thing felt like it had massive levers to pull between gears, with grinding happening because you didn't pull it quite all the way into gear...

I''ve had two grinds while driving casually in mine. Nothing when I shift fast at redline. Quite peculiar
24" with 1600 miles.

Was going to make another thread about my issue but figured I would ask here first.

23’ FL5..never had the 2nd gear grind. My first to second is actually buttery smooth every time. What I have noticed though..and it’s become a slight annoyance..is a sort of “buzz” feeling in the shift knob when downshifting into 2nd from 3rd. There is no grind noise or extra resistance associated with this. But when downshifting into 2nd from 3rd when the car is cold and warming up, I can feel a buzzing in the shift knob when I hit second just before going all the way into gear. This is mainly when driving slowly , high rpm downshifts I don’t feel this.

the feeling fades when the car warms up but even then occasionally..especially when driving slowly…I get this slight buzz that I can feel in the shift knob

The knob is tight , car only has 8k miles, and I recently changed the factory fill fluid to Amsoil transmission and transaxle 75w-90 lube. This has made the shifts even smother when warm but cold shifting I would say is similar to factory fluid. The buzz was there with the factory fluid as well.

anyone experience anything similar?
