I just bought a 95 del sol si 5spd. Reverse seems to grind a bit, do you think that could be due to the fact i may need a new clucth?

Thanks,

 

Yes, it could. Have you tried putting the car in 2nd and then reverse?

 

actually, if you shift into any foward gear then shift to reverse it will be fine. i use 3rd then shift to reverse....

seems to common with most honda's...?

 

yep and some domestics also like to be shifted into a forward gear before going into reverse because reverse gears aren't synchronized so shifting into a forward gear helps to eliminate the grind before going into reverse.

 

yup, happens to me alot. Finally figured to put it in fwd gear first and not push all the way far right, b4 putting it in reverse. I usually use 2nd gear.

i do the same...putting it into a forward gear first would work most of the time

 

yep... as the others have already stated.

i've heard of this happening on alot of honda trannys. every one i've driven has done it, and is always remidied by the methods described above.

 

i use 4th then reverse

 

this is a problem with all manuals. its always recomended to step on the clutch for a few seconds before shifting into reverse or you can shift forward into any gear. its not a clutch problem.
