<b>Correction</b> Add 2.3 quarts of fluid and not just 2 quarts.<br><b>Update</b> These fixes worked great for about 6 months, then the grind started slowly coming back. So I replaced the Rear Motor Mount in Oct 2021 with the Hasport 62A. The grind immediately went away and hasn't returned and it's now April 2023. The Mount is Here: <a href="http://bit.ly/3zFiUna">http://bit.ly/3zFiUna</a>

This works flawless with just adjusting the two nuts on my accord way better shifting brings the clutch up higher tho but small compromise for this smoothness and ur the only one who really described the procedure well thanks again man

Not sure if anyone knows, but to also perform the fluid level check, there is another bolt that is 12mm in size. As you fill the 2-3 quarts of fluid there should be the level port that begins to drip out slowly. Doing this ensure that there is optimum amount of transmission fluid and that its not under shorted.

I was getting a grind into 4th gear. Doing the pedal adjustment fixed it. Took 5 minutes to do.

I love that you put every link possible in the description. I respect that you put amazon links for parts I did not know were on ebay and amazon, I wouldve went and spent the extra money from a tuner website like a dummy.

Thank you for this. I hated googling this problem on my 2018 and not finding anything useful. Will be doing this sometime. Was gonna give up my Type R, but now I think I'm going to keep it because of you. Thanks again!!!

hey buddy i have been following you for quite a while, i started following you for pew pew videos. i have a 20 FK8 and watching this video because i am having the same problem after a few track days. I am also a professional technician and on the power bleeder when you were bleeding the system., buy some dot 3 or 4 brake fluid and fill the power bleeder with the fluid and you don't have to watch the brake fluid level because it will refill as it drains the fluid. I have also found that when bleeding the brake system on our cars they prefer vacuum instead of pressure due to the ABS block. Great video and i would love to se some videos of you tracking the car! Keep up the great work man!

Just an FYI, Civic Type R transmission fluid capacity is 2.3 quarts, not 2 quarts

the only times I ever got grinds was when I pushed the car hard from a launch. I installed the mid motor mount and they were gone. After I installed a short shifter from hybrid racing I got a grind 3 times on the same day just normal driving. I removed the shifter and didn’t get any but I now feel second gear being a little rough. I was going to change my fluid next oil change but I’ll try the adjuster bolt first like you said. Thank you sir. I hope you start posting soon.
