Noise after shifting to 2nd
I'VE SEARCHED!!!! Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : to, second
OK, here it goes.
When I'm in first gear going about 15-20 mph then I shift to second I hear this loud bumb/knock sound like if I ran over a rock or something. It's right after I shift from first to second, and YES I know how to shift. It does it everytime I shift into 2nd. At first I always thought I was running over a rock but I finally realized it today... I'm slow Anyways anyone know whats up with that?
P.S By the way I have no grinding in any of the gears.

Like Mahjik said, changing oil is never a bad idea. But try the double-clutching too and see if that eliminates the problem going into 2nd. You can double-clutch it forever without really having a problem.

The 1-2 crunch isnt a grinding sound, it is a 'bump' or 'clunking' noise... pretty common in FD's, Preludes and Mustangs, not to mention many other cars.
Replacement fluid is suggested... using Redlin MTL or NEO is reccomened, although both are hard to come by in our area.

In other words, I think it's normal unless you have to go out of your way to make a 1-2 shift properly.

Try the double-clutch to confirm that it is synchro friction you're feeling, switch gear oils if you want to make it smoother.

Does it happen on every 1-2 shift? Does the pace of the shift affect it? Does double-clutching solve or reduce it? Did it begin happening suddenly?
Get it checked out soon. You'll definitely want to talk to a tranny expert and if they aren't RX-7 tranny guys, inform them that 2nd is a double-cone synchro. Dave at KD rotary I think has immense experience with these gearboxes, if you're looking for someone to call. (Cam at Pettit as well, and many others). They might call my theories trash, but either way they will know.

I would also suggest:
* Change oil & filter
* Change tranny oil (as mentioned)
* Change diff oil
* Flush coolant
* Change O2 sensor (use anti-seize)
* Change spark plugs (with your new wires, use dielectrical grease with them)
Along with your fixes, that will give you a good starting base for the maintenance car.
