Description of the problem
When changing the gear from 1st to 2nd a grinding will be felt and heard. It is similar to the sound/feeling when shifting without fully pressing the clutch.
Fixing the second gear grinding
Transmission oil
Several users reported that using the "Castrol Syntrans FE 75W" instead of the "Honda MTF" oil fixes the 2nd gear grinding.
It is recommended to flush the gearbox three times in a row with the new oil in order to get completely rid of the old Honda MTF.
