I have a 99 gsr stock with 122k. Over last few days its been kinda hard to get into 1st or rev. Last night it was really hard to get into reverse and just as hard to get it out. Checked the linkage and looked good. Did trans fluid 3 weeks ago and was just dirty. Could my clutch maybe do this. Its almost like the clutch wont let it disengage all the way. The clutch fluid is dirty and I am flushing it when my neighbor is off work

 

Bled the clutch and seems to be ok. My lady is gonna drive the 2 door and I am gonna put some miles on this one for the week and see how it does

 

When u did the trans fluid, what type of fluid and how much did u use?

 

Bout month ago.used honda mtf and filled it to the fill plug

 

ok hmm.. when my clutch slave and master was giving me problems, it was hard to get into every gear, not just first and reverse.. im leanin more towards something in the trans.. not positive tho

 

i'd go for wear on the reverse mechanism mines doing the same thing i saw it when it was torn apart last to check the diff but i didn't put a new piece in it and i regret it now but trans is going to have to come back out soon for 3rd and 4th gear sets very soon anyways so i'll replace it then.

 

mine does the same thing. when i took it apart reverse gear had shiny rounded teeth which it souldnt but i put it back in cause it reverse.
ur sycros might need to be changed.
i just put it back in neutral when it does it let the clutch out then try again. it usually works.
sounds ghetto but money is tight and it works.
most hondas have manual trany issues. my kids mom has a hybrid civic with a manual trans. had to be replaced @ 90,000. sux

 

Bleeding clutch made huge diffrence. Not so bad now. Its still a bit hard for first and reverse still. I may adjuct clutch a bit. I think its been changed but not sure

 

its not the clutch at this point. its the syncros. my 98 teg does the same thing.
just push the clutch in and out till it goes in so you dont ruin the gears like my reverse, all rounded and shinny, but it reverse,dont care as long as the teeth are there.

 

My 94 needs syncros so I know what thats like. I cleaned out the clutch master cause it looked like black syrup and now it works fine. I noticed the shifter feels numb compared to my car and mine has factory shifter and bushings. If i put the energy bushing in will it make it feel better?

 

energy bushing help. thats what in mine.
i bleed my clutch a lot. it get dirty fast and i like all my fluids clean.
i change the trans oil bout every three oil changes.
