i recently bought a 94 Integra. with 116xxx on it. its an automatic LS. after driving for the week i realized that when the car is cold, and when u put it in reverse theres a big jerk or jolt. only when you shift to reverse. when you put to drive its fine. after the car warms up though, that jolt goes away when you put it in reverse. i know it might be the transmission, and something with the reverse solenoid or something but anyone have similar problems? the fluid looks clean, and full. should i try a different kind of fluid to see if anything will help?

 

Double check your mounts. It's a random weird thing to check but same problem happened to a buddy of mine.

i was thinking the same thing but i thin it won't be just cuz once the car and transmission warms up, the jerk goes away...

 

could be the mounts or the tranny just took some abuse but no biggies

 

i have the same problem and now when am in the highway and i de-accelerate around 80-60mph it makes a whinding sound not sure what it is does any one know? i planned on converting it to stick so now my ?question is does anyone have any b series trans with shift linkage or a whole b series eng n trans swap 4 sell in da chicago area let me thanks

 

u mean u have the exact same problem? shifts hard only into reverse when cold, warm it goes away. also doesn't happen in drive. let me know

sure hope its not the tranny...i dont want to be installing a transmission anytime soon.

 

not sure wat it is but mine how it also makes a whinding sound when am traveling like around 80-60mph and i deaccelerate(let off the accelerater) i wanna converted to stick but have no time cuz its a daily driver n i cannt find any b series 5spd trannys

 

o ok but what im asking was did it shift hard into reverse like i stated...because u said u had the exact problem?

 

I just bought a 94 Integra Auto as well. Has the same problem. When cold start, put into reverse and it gets 1900 rpm. When put into reverse, it will get big jerk. After warm up, it is no this problem. I tried to clean the FITV, seem help a lot. At least, I see the rpm will drop from 1900 rpm to 1500 rpm within 10 second. Also, when shift to reverse, not that big jerk before. Hopefully, other people can give some more infomations about it. Thanks

 

My guess would be the motor mounts. I would switch out the mounts and see if this fix it. I had a friend with a similar issue. He swap out his old motor mounts for new ones, and the problem went away.

 

Loose connections, resolder connections. Should fix problems. Happened on my old integra before.
