Default 99 Civic SI Shifting Problems...:|

Hello All,

I really need your help. As I left the gas station the other day, I found that I was having trouble shifting. For one, when I try and shift, it feels like the shifter is stuck in place, thus making it difficult to pull out of gear. In addition, it is even more difficult to shift into another gear. Having driven this car for quite some time, it doesn't seem as if the clutch is bad. Once I'm actually in gear, the car feels normal. However, the problem is actually getting into gear. I just wanted to know if anyone knows why the gear is "grabbing." I have already changed the transmission fluid, and flushed/replaced the hydraulic clutch fluid. If anyone can help me figure out this problem please let me know. The only thing I can think of is that something is causing the clutch to not disengage properly, and that the clutch may be going bad. I have no experience in this area, and if anyone could give me some suggestions, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you all for your time.

Sounds like your clutch pedal needs an adjustment. Get an FSM or search here on doing it. It's easy.

If your car switches between gears OK when the car is turned off but not when it's running, then it's a clutch problem. You'll need to pull it out and stick a new one in.

How is your reverse gear?
