I believe the Clutch rod adjustment will help with that, I know this is done hydraulically but it does change the engagement point.
If I had this issue, I would definately try it.

I am not 100%, but I would bet on it. It makes sense to me and I trust the source of infomation I recieved (not from S2ki)

MANY people have the grind.
i've been grinding since Day 1 (oct. 16, 2003)
I have 91,000 miles and my tranny is still working fine.
the typical grind problem is user-induced...the synchro's are grinding.
sure it causes minimal damage...but does not mean the tranny will go.
my thought, is that your tranny had a SERIOUS problem...
grinding does not indicate a failed tranny.

it is carbon something, but not carbon FIBER.
i do not like gm syncromesh fm, it doesn't last long before it gets notchy again.
the NEW honda MTF is the best so far, for me.

ur best bet when first driving the car from dead-cold is to rev the motor slowly in each gear (till about 5,000rpm) then shift gears slowly until it goes in on its own accord. I do this every morning. The motor warms quicker than the tranny fluid, so its best to not shift quickly even though the motor is warmed.
sidenote: gm synchromesh sucks. I had it in my B16 civic and all it did was inhibit quick shifting. Honda MTF is def the way to go.
