The fact that the gears are grinding when re-engaging leads me to two possible conclusions. 1) The transmission is not intended to do this. 2) There actually is something wrong with it.

As it shifts without fault 99.99% of the time I'm guessing that it's not intended to do this. RPM matching still produces a zzzip non-synchro mesh noise as it figures out what gear to be in. Early Ody transmissions had problems, this one has all the updates as well as meticulous maintenance. I'm hoping this isn't just an early sign.

With all the Honda ECU cracking that has taken place, I was testing the water to see if someone knows how to make the PCM disengage the trans.
