Default Flakey 2nd gear syncros

I have 9k miles on my 02 and I just started noticing the second gear grinding when going in at high or low RPMS does not matter. Clutch is fully depressed. It does not happen every time, but i can tell 2nd gear going in seems to be rough and clunky going in a lot.

I know about the TSB, I thought that was for MY00-01, anyone have the same problem?

1. Change your tranny fluid (Honda MTF)
2. Check your clutch master and slave cylinders for leaks.
3. Flush the clutch.

I'm willing to bet that'll at least help. If not, then bring it to the dealer. It's under warranty.

It is going in on Tuesday, I will have them do all that. Whats with the fluid changes on this car?

I have never had a car that needed trans fluid changed at under 10,000 miles. That just blows my mind.

However, I will do it if it actually helps.
