Check the search. There are lots of threads on this.

I was under the impression that by MY 2006 Honda had changed the tolerances and eliminated the problem. The TSB installs a new 2nd gearset with the revised tolerances.

I almost always rev match on downshifts... downshifting isn't the issue here though, it's the upshifting.

Trust me, I searched and read until my eyes hurt... Most of what I found was for AP1's and 04-05 AP2's. I didn't see anything about MY06+ cars, hence why I made the thread.

I have the same problem when im leaving my driveway and heading down the street in front of my house it kinda lurches into 2nd gear. However if i get on it after the car has been heated up 2nd gear usually will only grind if i dont slam it into second gear because i limp wristed it.

you can rev-match on upshifts as well by letting the rpm drop.

shifting technique?

Ch0pper

I didn't think there were that many techniques you can perform ?
It's kind of a basic funtion, or I'm not understanding the question.

I always put the clutch in before moving from one gear to another. Anyway, I've been delaying the 1-2 shift, and haven't grinded yet. For example, Rev to 7k, clutch (1 mississippi), then shift. Been working so far... I've been beating on the car more testing all these different methods more than I ever do in a given week, lol.

Also just to emphasize, the griding I report, ONLY happens under hard acceleration ... from 1st gear to 2nd.

same here 1st to 2nd, only under hard accelerations. im not sure why it grinds. also when i put it into 3rd gear when reving high.
