i just want to get a good idea on how and why it does this. ik when mine grinds i do the 1st to reverse trick thing and it works...but what is actually going on in there to make it grind

 

I just had to use my new gif:

it means your blinker fluid is low.

 

there is no synchro for reverse. that is why it grinds. the gears for reverse are straight cut.

the first - reverse trick aligns the shift collar and first gear which causes the mainshaft to rotate a small amount, which then causes the reverse gear to have a better chance at lining up and going in, since it is straight cut.

Another way to get reverse to go into gear is to gently let out the clutch while attempting to shift into reverse. this will cause the mainshaft to spin a small amount and allow the straight cut gears to line up better. either way works, and its best not to worry about it. the gears are really strong and can handle a little grind now and then..

 

lol blinker fluid haha

just go 4th to reverse! works great

Go for it, I made it for everyone here on Honda-tech to use.

 

shift into first cause it's the closest to the reverse and then shift to Reverse.
