Lately my 2nd gear has grinded once in awhile when shifting quickly and today it did 3 straight times!

Im also positive my foot was all the way down on the clutch. It seems as if it's more so at 3+K RPMs.

I have an 04 with 83K.

I've never grinded any other gear when shifting quickly so im starting to think something may be up.

Have you ever changed your transmission fluid? I suggest to start with this.

No, but one I got my oil changed at Honda like 1K mileage ago, I had a multi point done and they said my tranny fluid was fine.

Roughly 1 year ago I noticed a 2nd gear grind when shifting quickly 1-2 at redline (roughly 105k). So then early this past summer I changed the tranny fluid to AMSoil manual fluid and notice slightly less effort needed while doing casual shifting. The shifter seemed to move into each shift gate a little bit smoother. Now coincidentally since then I've added a Reflash and CTicebox and have done a LOT more 1-2 redline shifts at the higher redline and have had 0 grinds going 1-2! It's not conclusive evidence but changing the fluid. Is relatively cheap and couldn't hurt anything.

if its when you're quickly shifting and not when you are shifting at all times, its conclusive to say it should be your master cylinder

So just change the tranny fluid or should I bring it to a mechanic?

Im think I might have my friend who is more experienced driving stick test it...im also positive my foot is all the way down on clutch, so im guessing somethings up.

Just change the tranny, clutch, and master cylinder!
JK, start off with easies first, change tranny fluid and make sure your clutch is bled properly, possible even change the clutch fluid.

I had a similar problem .. I ended up changing the transmission oil first... it helped but it was still there .. then i changed my master cylinder and salve cylinder.. helped out a lot more .. last thing to do is check is cracked clutch bracket

Worst case scenario its your second gear syncro, which is pretty common on Honda's, especially if shifted hard periodically.
