hey, all the Type-s owners out there, i need ur help. i'm planning on getting a Type-s and i've been hearing that they have tranny problems, specifically the 02's. it suppose to be a grind in the gears between 1st and 2nd and i think 2nd and 3rd. now, is that only with the 02's or is that with all the years of the Type-s including the 04's? thanx for the feed back.

 

I have an 03 and everything is great no trans problems. That problem has been solved.

 

if you get one with that problem, any local acrua dealer should fix you up.

 

I have an 04' Type S and have no problems.

 

my friend has an 02', and he has no problems with it yet, has around 15k miles

 

jess just got one.. i heard the gears seemed a little too close together for some people and alot of people made money shifts... and thus needing a lot of head replacements... but i havent felt any grinding yet and it has 44,000miles

 

I dunno Chris, when I was driving it that one day second gear seems a little rough going into. Drive it again and feel how rouch second is.

 

BTW Eric, my gears are just fine

 

I have an 02 and my gears were fine but I still went and got them to switch my synchros just in case it ever happened.

Now my car shifts tremendously smooth.

Gears arent too close imo I have never misshifted to a down gear. Ive popped out of some gears while racing but never misshifted.
