I have a 03 track version, funny I've been reading these tranny posts and has been wondering if I am experiencing the same tranny problems. The last few days I've been concentrating on feeling any 'roughness' or notchiness during shifts, what I found is mostly the shifts are smooth, only occationally there is a slight notchiness (nothing serious really). High RPM shifts are fine, the ever so slight notchiness came from low RPM shifts (usually 2nd to third, I can feel a very slight clunk through my palm). So people, do you think I should bother to take it to the dealer and have them check it now? Or should I wait till later when the tranny eventually breaks and in the mean time put in Motul tranny fluid?

WAIT! The replacement tranny that they gave me is a LOT WORSE than my first in respect to NOTCHINESS. It ruins the fun.

 

i have an 03 enthusiast 32,000 miles, orig. tranny. Not an issue yet. Shifts like new, except for the occasional once every hundred shifts a slight notch going into first from a stop, or shifting into 2nd.
