Default uh oh...

So today on my way home from work I took off from a light, put it in second and it grinded. I figured I was just being lazy and didn't pull it in all the way (long day at work). The next stop light, the exact same thing happens again. Then as I'm pulling into my neighborhood and its in second for a few feet and then it pops out. Any ideas guys?

i believe your second may be trashed. you have an 03 so that means a tr-3650 transmission.

well I've got some good news, it turns out that it was just the bolt from the steeda tri-ax that unscrewed and prevented me from putting it in second. So I'm quite relieved
