<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by ElecticBlue EP3 »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">does anyone have any idea how to fix it and about how much its gunna run me??? 
</TD></TR></TABLE>
about $25 total with parts... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2155139
like he said- it's your manual tranny fluid- it happens to all of us...
first third will start grinding once and a while...
then second will start to grind also...
eventually, 3rd is Really bad!
just do a MTF change like i showed everyone in that thread, and if it doesn't work, at least you'll know it's not that- and that you have better fluid in there!
if it does work (90% of the time), you'll thank us for not having spent $300 on crap you don't need!
now if someone before you had the car... they may have miss shifted hard enough to break or warp something.
in that case, DO the MTF flush anyways, seee if it works, and if not- take it in!
