That sounds a lot like a slow grind. You'll experience the same thing if you try to shift to 1st if you're moving a little too fast. The only way to truly fix a grind is to rebuild the transmission.

I'd also just like to point out that B-series transmissions are a dime a dozen and the LS trans is perfect for boost and/or fuel economy.

They're cheap and easy to find. Basically, if you want a cheap-ish fix, swap in a transmission from an Integra LS.
