Is there a problem with third gear?

I'm looking to buy a 2002ish Acura RsX type-s and i hear that there are some issues with some of the gears. Is it something I should worry about? If you would explain the problem that would be great - I'm sort of in the dark on this one.

There is supposed to be a grind on the second gear (have had my RSX since Aug 01 and haven't had problems, but many have complained about it). I heard that the shifting technique and a short shifter can decrease the grind or even eliminate it.....

Get the RSX, you'll like it!

Post up on www.clubrsx.com and you can get some info on pricing, etc.

The synchros cause a slight catch from 2nd to third. It's a factory "flaw" if you want to call it that. Shifting in higher rpms or double-clutching pretty much eliminate the problem.

Common problem with many close ratio gear boxes. RSX-S777 is correct, although it isnt nessicary a manufactors flaw.

I ask you first?
Where you live, cold or hot weather? or both?
Then ask what type of tranmission oil they are putting in it?
