Having a hard time putting into reverse!
Whats up everyone, i am having a hard time putting my **** into reverse. I know what your probably thinking, the same thing i did, "its your clutch" well it turns out that wasn't it. cause i just put an excedy clutch in my car and it still does it.
i really can't explain how it happens its like i go to put it in reverse and its like im hitting a wall.
iv come down to it being either three things
1)It might be the fork on the shifter
2)it might be the sinkronizer
3)it might be my tranny
which one do you all think it could be?

do you put it into 4th or 5th before putting it into reverse? How long ago did you change the oil? I know on my 5th gen and many other cars (like my 03 VW Jetta, too), there is no synchro on reverse...

Synchronizer, bro, synchronizer. I've found that the shifter rods on most front-wheel drive cars easilly bind when you try to go from stop to reverse without having gone into a forward gear first. Just put it in first, let the clutch out a little then go into reverse and it should work fine.

^^ Agreed. Just put the car in second gear to stop the gears from spinning, then try putting it in reverse.

Re: Having a hard time putting into reverse! (Archidictus)
it doesn't grind at all it just straight up and won't go into gear, i mean it does but i have to sit there and play with the clutch to get it in
then when i want to take it out of gear i have to play with the clutch again and then it just pops out really f@#$in hard.

It's a Honda. If I'm going into reverse I shift 2, 3, R. Sometimes I also just pump the clutch a couple times. I just changed my fluid on Friday with GM SyncroMesh FM and it still does it. Like I said, it's a Honda.

Doesn't make sense because it only happens in reverse.

Re: (Ricey McRicerton)
i kinda have this same prob but if i press the clutch and put in reverse from stand still car has been itting there for hours, then it won go all the way so i then put it in netrual and press the clutch again and this may take a couple times but it finally will go, also my other prob is my shifter will move out of gear if i push it, it wont pop out but if i give it a nudge it will pop out of gear
any ideas?

Yeah...they're all like that. You can shift without using the clutch, too! Not recommended.

My friend does it sometimes. It's some gay stunna shifting method where you basically just let the shifter grind against the synchros until it falls into gear. I figure if Honda thought that was a suitable way to shift they wouldn't have installed so many clutches in their manual transmission cars.

Re: (Archidictus)

you can almost always shift out of gear into neutral without the clutch (I do it sometimes when I'm feeling lazy, but not too often), but you have to be really good (and know where the gears are lined up) to go into gear without the clutch.
