Car Forum / Acura Cars / June 2004RSX 2nd-3rd Grind
I'm looking at a 04 RSX base, I test drove it and found that if I was driving hard it grinded from 2nd to 3rd. I've heard of this issue before but everything I hear is just a 2nd gear grind. Anyone have this issue, what are the fixes. I really like this car and would hate to buy it and have this issue for the entire time I own it. Kyle Double clutch it, especially when the engine is cold. It will take care of the problem. A. "J.

I have a Type S and have never had any problems. How much experience do you have driving a manual? If the car is grinding on the test drive, there must be a problem with that car. If you do buy the car, don't buy the one you test drove. > I'm looking at a 04 RSX base, I test drove it and found that if I was > driving hard it grinded from 2nd to 3rd.

However, I heard that the grind was with the Type-S tranny, not the base. Perhaps this was problem with this specific car. Try another car and see. Whichever car you buy you should simply test it out. I hope this helps > I think 2nd gear grind problem is in the Type S 6 speed, not the 5 speed > base.

This happened because third needs a bit of extra effort to fully complete the shift once in a while. It tightens up, you think it's all the way in gear and it isn't. Second gear on my car is notchy alot of the time, but never has that tightness feel third sometimes has.  SignatureRob > I have the 2004 base 5 speed and there is no grind. Smooth as > silk, in fact!

ALot of RSX infomation on this site. It is a very common problem. > I have the 2004 base 5 speed and there is no grind. Smooth as > silk, in fact! I love the car.

Whenever I had work done before, albeit on GM cars, it was like getting the car back in a 'violated' state where other problems were created by their repairs. I will never forget trying to get a simple front end knocking sound fixed on a Sunfire which took over 8 months, 8 shop visits and countless hours of my time. It was never completely fixed. I don't trust mechanics with my car simply because it's not their car and they can be inclined to be as neat or sloppy as they want.
