About once or twice a week I have a hard time getting my tranny to go into reverse. The only way it will go in is if I pull forward a little. Every once in a LONG while, it will happen in 1st gear too. What causes this? Could it be a sycrod(sp?) probelm?

Im not quite sure where and what the sycrod(sp?) does, but is it possible to have them replaced if thay go bad?

 

yes its prolly a syncro they do go out in reverse it justr happens to my boy who works with me. yes you can replace the syncro here they are. http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...NSHAFT+%281%29

 

Since when did a Honda tranny have a reverse synchro?
I've got 13 examples that say they never got one.

 

This is a common issue with tegs,Mine does that,my friends 2000 with 17k on it does it and my other friends 97 does it,i posted this topic before and alot of honda techs explanned its common with them and its not really considered a problem.So i after seeing my friends almost brand new one do it,I think its just the way they are.

 

both my 00 HX and 97 EX do it.

 

just be patient. press the clutch in pause for a second or 2 then try to put it in reverse again. Most of the time u have to just push the clutch pedal once or twice but be patient about it dont rupoo poo.

 

It is fairly common, and on my 00 GSR I have it happen once in awhile. Here's why (I think) it happens.

You're sitting at a stop with your foot on the clutch. The mainshaft is stopped, as is the inputshaft. You go to shift into reverse. The teeth on the reverse gear dog clutch just happen to be lined up exactly with the teeth on the reverse gear. "BUMP" they won't mesh. So, when you bugde your car forward, you move the teeth, and then when you reselect, it mates up and slides into gear. Same can go for 1st gear, or any gear you select while at a standstill.

 

Thats what I always thought it was until I started hearing about the syncro stuff. This makes mess ALOT better!!!! I was worried I was going to have to have my tranny tore apert to heve the sycros replaced.

 

so it happens commonly with honda trannies. i don't really know, have you replaced your tranny fluid recently? aren't synchros your tranny gears?...

hhhmmm

 

what tranny is it on the hondauto. web page if i may ask?

 

Synchronizers, aka "synchros," are essentially clutches. They serve to match the speed of the inputshaft and clutch disc to the speed of the mainshaft before engaging the gear. As you shift, say from 2nd to 3rd, the synchronizer slows down the inputshaft and disc from the speed of the mainshaft times the 2nd gear ratio to the speed of the mainshaft times the 3rd gear ratio.

 

It's normal, happens to my Civic, Integra, and my CRX. It also happens to friends of mine...

 

Synchro's suc, they are the First major things to go out..

 

its normal every honda is like that. dont waste money changing the synchros.

 

common.....just pull up a little then put it in reverse.

 

damn that same poo poo happened to my car when the syncros went out after a while i couldnt shif into ne gear

 

shiet. at least you HAVE REVERSE!
i cant even get into it.

anyway the syncros are notoriously bad in hondas. i had 3 bad ones in my old tranny.

 

Just out of curiostiy, how much does it cost to have the syncros replaced?

 

reverse synchro cost nothing to replace.......

BECAUSE THERE ARE NONE!

 

ALOT.

 

ryan, all my hondas had this problem... the accord, the lude, the civic, and my teg does it. I think honda doesnt like you going backwards...
