Hey,

So Today I noticed when I bring the car up above 6k, it grind HARD going into third. First time it happened, it scared me bacause i have barley EVER grinded a gear before with this car. I just recently installed a short throw shifter(B&M) I Did NOT put the plastic bushings back between the change rod and the shifter it self, I just used the B&M bushings as i could not fit the stock ones and them in.

My change rod is slightly rusted, and I can almost squeeze the fork together if I tried, its slightly weak. If I purchased a new one, would it improve the play i have on the shifter in the gear?

Now the large grind into 3rd is scary, butr fixable, right?

The MAJOR problem is that I have NO REVERSE now. I cannot coax it into reverse, I have all other gears, except reverse. I can't even put it manually into reverse under the car with my hands on the change rod.

Question is, how much am I going to have to replace, as my baby is at the Honda dealership, and going to be looked at tomorrow, please help guy!
