ok so i have a 99 d16y8 with 105k and i have been having trouble getting the car into reverse it is only sometimes. I put the car in reverse and if feels like it is in gear but when i take the clutch out it grinds and then i have to take it out and feel around till i get it in. what could be the problem I'm not to familiar with transmissions so keep it as general as possible. thanks for you help

 

If your talking about what im thinking about then most hondas have this problem. Just let the clutch out again (in neutral) and try again.

 

I have the same problem. Sometimes i grind a little and i have to take it out real quick and do it again.

 

I just throw it in 1st then put it in reverse .

Almost every car except for BMW's VW do it. The Syncro in reverse is designed so that honda boys don't try to bang reverse acting like they have a 6 speed. 1st then reverse, it syncs the tranny speed to the motor speed so that the gear selector is spinning slow enough to engage reverse.

 

thanks guys!!

Yep. It's a safety issue.

Well needed too.

 

so in other words we can't just shift to reverse while driving ??
