2nd gear grind?
every once in a while 2nd or 3rd will grind on me, with the clutch all the way to the floor, only about once or twice a week so far...it's been having more of a problem feeling really rough going into 1st and 2nd, like it doesn't want to go into gear. anyone else been having that going on?

I havent had this problem at all... Same shifter, no short throw.
I have seen tow pics, I am assuming with roadside.
Has anyone have updates to this? Are people just getting the dealer to fix this ghost problem and then going on their merry way and not informing others on this post?
I have no issues other than shifting into 1st sometimes, but either you have to let the synchos mesh up or let the clutch out and try again due to the teeth not matching up.
Anyways please someone report after a dealer fix. otherwise its a useless thread.

i'm going to take mine back into the dealer, but i want to wait until it's a ore consistent problem...they don't seem to like me back there, b/c i'm always in getting something fixed that they had messed up...oh well.

you do need to make the problem consitant for the dealer to find it and say ok.
As a tech in a dealership we have the same issues, A truck comes in....NFF(no fault found) Its life... Wait until it develops.

im having a similar problem its not a smooth shift into second even wen the clutch is on the floor mine is not always persistent but i think ill head over to mitsu soon i think they were a little sick of me with my alignment problem lol
well just to let you guys up to date on my problem, i brought it in over two weeks ago, they said it was the clutch which was gone, i said ok(i did learn on this car), after they fixed that on Wednesday they called and said, there is basically no second gear and have to take the trans back apart

good to know they are fixing your clutch for free.
Also why are you referring to 4g miles? do you really have 4,000,000 (million) miles on your car, or do you have 4000 miles?
(kilo (k) = x 10^3) (giga (G) = x 10^6)

hmm..mine's kinda doing that too with only about 2000 miles on it.
Going from 1st to 2nd sometimes grinds a tiny bit but doesn't happen all the time.
Another thing I've noticed is going from rev to 1st sometimes produces a bit of a grind if i'm not fully stopped. Didn't think that was a problem with manuals.
