2002 Accord Manual "GR-UNK"...
OK, 2002 Accord 4dr 4cyl, 5 speed is booked in next week so I can take a
technician for a spin. Car has only 6000 Km (3750 mi) on it (laaast one
on the lot!) and it is now making a "not quite clunk, but not quite a
full grind" going from 1st to second. Doesn't happen on the 3 -> 2
downshift. Happens going into second and not coming out of first ->
neutral.
We can avoid it by waiting in neutral and then pulling it into 2nd.
Sort of counting "one Mississippi" in between.
Is this a synchro thing? If we start to pull it into 2nd and wait at
the first sign of resistance, there is a vibration in the stick like
something is spinning. This spinning stops, and then we can pull it
into 2nd with no problem.
Thoughts?
