Well, the last problem to fix on my Integra. haha ... never ends.

I can't shift into reverse. Meaning - I can't even get the shifter into the reverse gate. Basically, I push the shifter to the right and down ... and it doesn't go down!

All forward gears work though.

Any possible solutions?

I have absolutely no clue how this happened. I had the engine rebuilt, which took like 3 months, and then it doesn't go into reverse.

Now, I did have the car towed a few times when it was done. AAA was the towing company. I feel they might at fault. I may give them a call ...

I called up my local Acura dealership and A&H motorsports. Acura wouldn't even touch it. Said just to buy a new tranny. A&H said anywhere from $600 to $1800.

I can't even drive the car ... hah ... NO FREAKING REVERSE!

Where do you guys go for the tranny work?

Should I just sell my tranny and buy a used one?

did you try the first then reverse method, then try doing it with out the car being on and what do you get?

If it goes in while the car is off then start in in reverse just hold the clutch in and see what the result is.

 

did you try shift 1th and reverse ? or second and reverse?
if it ain't workin after you shift 1th or sec and then reverse
sorry man

Good Luck~*

 

mine did that the other day..i would go into first then to reverse and still nothing...i just put it in neutral ..took of the e-brake , and let the car roll a little and then it went in after that.....

 

could be a bad synchro. watch out 5 th gear will go next.

 

the reverse gear and first gear have same syncro, right?

 

First than reverse. works for me when it doesn't want to cooperate.

 

reverse idler gear/assembly. drop the tranny and crack it open to find out for sure.

 

Sometimes I can't get it into reverse either, even after I have tried the "1st then reverse" and the "2nd then reverse", so what I have to do is take my foot off the clutch, and then step on it again, and it goes into reverse with ease.

 

If the We-Todd-Did-Racing tranny crew is available, we might look at it for "cheap"...

Mine did this too... Acura first thought it was the syncros. Put new gears and Syncros in, and out it back together. Still wouldn't go in. Found out it was a slightly bend shift fork. Couldnt even see it by looking at it. Ryan

 

For the reverse idler gear? (that's my guess)

 

bah, reverse is over rated

 

Do what I do, push the car backwards!

 

as most said the "1st to reverse" method should work.

 

You guys are all assuming that nothing is fugged in the tranny.. with a honda tranny.. that's not the best assumption..

 

Yup, open the door, place left foot on ground, push Works every time

Craig - Who has to do that some times to avoid the missing teeth on his spoon fly

 

Damn Craig, it's a good thing you broke your right foot, and not your left backing foot...

 

I tell you man, i much rather have broke my left... driving sucks the *** end of a donkey

Craig - Who's thinking of pulling out the skill saw when he gets home

 

Well I am in Boca Raton for the summer.

I know about the 1st to reverse method. I did it all the time. This time there is actually something wrong with the tranny.

 

all these replies and no one has suggested putting it in forth and then reverse? works every time for me.

 

try putting in reverse , then let the clucth out a little bit, and tap the gas .if that dont work then theres a issue. or if you have a short shifter try putting the stock one back on

 

It doesn't work even when the car is shut off?
