yea i just brought a used rsx wit 97,000 miles on it and i just brought it home and tested around the block sum at full throttle 1st - 2nd churps fine but going into 3rd scratch rpms vroooooooooooom i tried several times i thoght i wasnt pressing the clutch in far enough but thats not the case i tried it without sevral times trying to come out of second at 8k into third without engaging third and it scratches and it pisses me off that i cant enjoy my 3rd i was wondering was this a common problem wit the 02s i remeber hearing it wit the 05s

 

you bought a car without driving it?

 

Try some synchromesh, if that doesnt work and you do happen to find another solution, do me a favor and let me know.

 

its ******* gay.... same **** w my 03 u get used to it and work with it...

i herd the sentra spec V had the same problem... JDM 6speed trannys


i still fukin love my dc5 tho

 

well i was hopeing it would be covered under warranty and i did test drive it and it didnt do it then ...well then again i wasnt driving it as fast it takes a couple of days to get to know the car cuz im finding other things wit the car but are minor and its kinda hard to deal wit cuz i wont be able to drag race any 1 or i will lose cuz it will miss 3rd and scratch like hell lol

 

well this thread is very ironic, i just finished talking to my friend that owns an rsx like two seconds ago he took his rsx for an exhaust leak (stock car) and he mention the grind in third gear and they are rebuilding his tranny, it seems like all the rsxs are having the same problem...

 

What a pos

 

Do a search. There is a TSB for this problem. It affects the 02-early 04 RSX-S.

Go to an Acura dealer and tell them about it. You should get it covered.

 

what if i purchased it from a nissan dealer

 

man, you're completely clueless arnt u?

im not sure if Nissan offers any type of used car warranty, but i know honda and acura both sell their used cars with a 7 year 100,000 mile warranty on the cars they sell. call your local dealership u bought it from and ask. pretend to be an interested buyer because they will be more willing to help you out.

 

i did not buy my car from a dealer plus im over my 5 year 50 k now 7 year 100k
if im rong tell me cause then ill be over to my dealer asap

 

hahaha. man this thread makes me laugh. to the thread starter. if you didnt know about the infamous grind. then... well you expletive`d up. my 06 is still brand new. but i have heard most if not all of my DC5 friends that grind their gears. its not the driver. its really just the shitty transmission. do more research before you buy the car. if you did know about it. sorry. even then, you should have test drove it first. good luck man. fo sho.

 

yo spoon.. ur not helpin the kid man he prob got the car and is like wtf and u gota make him feel like a dick.... to the op, like we all said bro its just the way they are and if u take a man pill u can "drag" use a little mussle make sure ur clutch is down

i was wondering would a short throw shifter fix this or not dont bash me its just a suggestion
