Slight grind in 2nd gear???

car has done this since new, has 380mi now. it will do it 80% of the time and only from 1st to 2nd shifts. I'm wondering if there is a throw adjustment that needs tweeking.I'll have Mitz look at it when I bring it in for the reflash next week, I hope they don't have to change the trany!!! anyone have this problem.

This happened to me for about the first 1k miles, but now, with almost 10k miles, it NEVER happens anymore. If you look in the manual, it even says this may happen occasionally.

There's a several page thread dedicated to this topic. Unfortunately, you're not alone. But there is some good help info. My car was eased somewhat by changing fluid and modifying the way I shift. I hope this helps you. Continues here. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=333385
