I own a 1999 civic si and heres my issue.

couple days ago when it snowed, i was ****** around and i gunned it on the snow to see far i could get the speedometer to go, and yea i got it to about 150 (stupid i know), and it drove fine for a while, but then when i tried shifting to 5th at high rpm it grinded it very rough. and i did that couple times to see if it would go away, but it didnt. and when i stopped, i couldnt put my car into reverse at all, and its still not going into reverse. HELP

 

Try putting it in first gear and than bring it to reverse.. Works everytime for me.

 

Yeaaa, not a good thing for the tranny to freely spin as such. Fair chance that you messed something up doing that. We all have our moments of stupid, it gets the best of us.

 

how hard did you slam the gears when shifted,cold have bent linkage or most likely the shift fork inside the tranny

 

i slam the gears prety hard when i beat on it, not gonna lie. and no i know if u put it into first and then reverse it usually works, but not this time. its just not getting into reverse at all. all the other gears work perfectly fine though.

yea i was thinkin tranni fluid, it has 84 k on ther eand i still d ont think the tranni fluid has been changed

 

yea, start with the fluid and hope for the best.

 

While on the snow/ice, do you "slam" it into reverse at any pt?

 

no, never been slammed into reverse, i tried today as hard as i can and all it did was jam all my gears so i couldn't get into anything for ahilwe, but then i drove for about 10 feet and everything went back to normal, other than my reverse, which is still stuck!
