first off i am a long time reader brand new member, most the answers are out there so not much need to post, but i have a question, after i start my engine for about 10 minutes if i go into vtec in first gear the engine shakes hard and throws it out of gear and i am completely out of gear the engine shakes hard and drops back down, does anyone know why this is, should i be worried and take it into honda? thanks alot

 

That has happened to me a couple times also...

 

how many bars are on your temp guage when this happens?

 

yeah dude, your engine needs to be warmed up before you start ******* it
the ecu goes into a safe mode untill the engine is at proper temp, to protect the engine from people like you that get into the car and dog it while its still cold

 

thats what i figured..... just making sure........ its hard to resist sometimes takes a while to warm up, thanks for the help

 

it shouldn't kick you out of gear tho... it should only bogg like you're overrevving it... but it shouldn't pop you out of gear...

 

true it shouldnt, but he drives it that hard, so it easy to believe that hes already phucked his trans in the procee so that explains it poping out of gear

noobs...just let your car warm up and you're good, patience

 

Noob.... indeed but not to driving cars.... my temp gauge had three bars and it had been a few minutes driving around town before i hit it..... i understand this is not the best thing to do, but was showing off the car to a friend, no excuse i know.......... FURTHER i have had the car only a few months and i have definitely not abused the tranny with the exception of few 0-100's but not abused, i bought the car used so it could of been the previous owner that messed up the tranny, that is what i was asking, it was strange to have the car pop out of gear because my friend drives and civic si and when his car is not warmed up vtec just doesnt engage it doesnt rattle and pop out of gear, that seemed wrong to me and is why I asked the question, thanks for all the advice

 

damn noobs. i feel sorry for your cars.
