Automatic Transmission- HARD to get into Reverse.
Im stumped.
Auto EK civic...shifts slightly hard...not really that bad- however, to shift from Park to reverse is extremely difficult. As soon as I get to D4,D3, or D2.....slides like butter.
I took the console apart...thinking that something had stuck in the shift pattern....nothing.
I inspected the configuration down there----its just the reverse hump....1,2,3, N....all easy as pie....Reverse to park, and park to reverse and its almost impossible.
Driving the car for 2 hours.....or 5 mins...no difference..still hard as can be to shift from park...to reverse.
It literally feels like something is jammed in there- just nothing (at least outside the trans) is there.
So...am I dropping a tranny this weekend? or is there say a shift solenoid that is causing this?

Re: Automatic Transmission- HARD to get into Reverse.
my guess would be your shift cable is starting to sieze or break i'v got 1 i could sell you lol take cover off the tranny and lube the **** out of it then work it back and forth .

Re: Automatic Transmission- HARD to get into Reverse.
if the shift cable was bad....wouldnt it be hard in d1,2,3 and N and not just park/Rev?
Ill lube her up either way......since I was in there with 450psi of air this weekend, and Id guess, I dried her WAY UP regardless....
Keep me in mind for the cable (just incase, lol)
