05 s2000 gear grinding noise/feeling
I am feeling a small grinding when shifting from 1st to 2nd and sometimes 2nd to 3rd. Took car to Honda and they say it is normal but I know it is not because it is getting worse.
Is there a problem with the clutch on this car that I can look into?

I heard on the s2ki board that this will "go away" after few thousand miles... I'm probably going to hit the service dept soon and ask about it anyway.

Hello all, I'm new here, I usually go on the UK part of the S2ki.com but thought I'd join here too.
Had my 2002 S2k about 8 months now and loved every minute.
Anyway, I've experienced this, what I'd describe as a 'snicking' type feeling on the upshifts from first to second gear, and more commonly and pronounced between second and third. It only occurs on upshifts and I have wondered myself if it's a problem. I raised it with the garage but they dismissed it as a characteristic.
Cheers
Chris

yea i have actually experienced this problem as well on my 02 from 1st to 2nd. It is the synchros. But the thing is that i have heard this problem on only the AP1 (00-03)and not the AP2 (04+). On the AP1 this happens to a lot of us. They changed the type of material the synchros are made out of in the AP2. I have taken it back to honda 3 times and they couldnt find anything wrong with it (since they couldnt duplicate the grind). They finally told me that they would take apart the tranny and check for me but if they couldnt find anything wrong they would charge me labor fees ($500+). So i am still debating if i want to do that. (bought extended warrenty until 100K)
