No help coming from civic section, so I'll try here.

I've got a 93 si with a nearly brand new ITR trans. Apparently reverse lights has not come on since the trans was installed.

Evidentally the previous owner replaced the switch with a known working one. checked all wires, bulbs, and fuses.
he believes its whatever is inside the transmission itself that pushes the button on the switch which isnt making contact.

the transmission has a 12 month/ 12,000 mile warranty on it...although I dont know if that is transferrable.

Pretty sure the answer is yes, but that will make the car fail inspection correct? My main worry is inspection.


My other "problem" is shifting into reverse. It feels EXTREMELY weird. You cant hardly even feel it move, its not tight and feels really mushy. It goes in fine, but its not like going into a forward gear, meaning you feel the gate of that gear. Is this because its only got a few thousand miles on it?

If you push it in quickly you completely feel the whole gate of the shifter. Otherwise you dont.
