    Absolutely, get a legit EM1 cmc. They swap almost directly with 06+ Si cmc's, and are made with metal internals vs plastic internals. You have an EM2 IIRC? Might work as well, I'll find the article on Hybrid Racing for the swap into.

    Here you go: http://www.hybrid-racing.com/tech/ho...o-06-civic-si/
    As far as fitment, I know the 06-11 Si guys run this. Might fit with yours as well since it's a k-swapped setup.

    I know who you're thinking about, that's 05boostedes2 or something along those lines. I believe cjtech has a 2010 Si IIRC, and if so you can definitely do the swap of the cmc's. I have to do mine soon. You should really get the real Honda EM1 cmc as already recommended, as the internals are metal.
    As for grinding, what tranny fluid are you running? Did you get your synchros changed as per the TSB for 06-11? Lets dig into your tranny setup and get you shifting smooth

    The omni cmc works also, but makes your pedal very stiff and may break your pedal bracket like mine, but once you get that tig welded it wont break again You're probably best off getting the EM1 as recommended.

    I'll google it tomorrow for you. Its a Honda TSB for 3rd gear grinds. Tell them 2nd does too, they'll change it under warranty if you still have it.
