After I did swapped clutch fluid, and adjusted my clutch, and swapped tranny fluid using honda mtf. It was still happening. So I just slowly shifted for a month for 1st-2nd. Then I found a thread saying to change my style of shifting. I pull straight down now when shifting to second using my index, middle, and ring fingers to pull it. Hasn't grinded on me for the past month so far 9k rpm shifting almost everyday. I used to shift by dragging the shifter along the left side towards the bottom left with my palm like I am holding a cup.
Try this and see if it works.

Do not touch any locknut with a sensor or switch on it. only the pushrod of the clutch CMC.

look under the dash, up at the back of the master. Using one finger, check the freeplay. You'll see two distinct freeplays. One is slop in the clutch rod. One is the mater piston moving in about 1/4 inch.

Remove ONLY the slop in the rod. Do not remove the piston freeplay.

Looking in my Helms manual, it seems the "sensor" I am referring to is the Clutch switch. Are you saying this is not the correct part to adjust?

I'm referring to part "A" and "B"

fernando.

Don't want to thread jack, but since OP has the same problem I'll post here.

Is this how the freeplay should be set? Sorry for the horrible quality video, and the fact that it's upside down.

Billman250

Correct. Do not touch A or B.

Only Nut D and rod E should be adjusted.

Thanks, I just adjusted mine the correct way. I realize that I had adjusted my clutch play the incorrect way, by adjusting A and B. I see now that I was removing the free play from the master cylinder. I drove it like this for about 2,000 miles, did I do any damage to the CMC? Nothing has seemed abnormal.

What happens you I adjust A and B? I adjusted them along with turning the rod to kill most of the free play and have been driving like that for the past 1k miles.

ive only read to adjust d and e never a and b... Where did you guys get that info?
