I’m the 3rd owner of a 02 NSX I bought back in April and I’m not real satisfied with the smoothness of my 1st to 2nd gear upshifts. I have to be very slow & deliberate when upshifting into 2nd gear otherwise it has a tendency to grind. I have no other 6 speed owners in my area to compare with, and my local ACURA NSX tech tells me this is an inherent 6 speed design characteristic. I’d like an absolutely honest opinion about the ease and smoothness of your car’s 2nd gear upshifts. Interestingly, I don’t have an issue with 3rd to 2nd downshifts. They seem to always be smooth and easy.
My car is still under warranty and I’m wondering if I need to pursue some warranty work to my transmission. It’s just that I hate to have anyone work on my cars unless absolutely necessary. Thanks for your reply.
