Okay everyone knows about the rsx bad 2nd & 3rd gear issue. But my shifter is extremely loose feeling, and has been ever since I bought it. Just thought it was normal. There is play in it and makes a noise when I move it back and forth. Lately it seems like it is getting worse, especially when it is real cold. Sometimes it will not go into 3rd at all and I have to really force it, like it is not lining up correctly or it is not moving the cable enough to fully get it into gear. What the heck? Anyone have this issue?

 

When was the last time you serviced the tranny?

 

never. I have 55,000 on her. 03 Type s.

So you are suggesting its the tranny not the shifter?

 

well does it move around a lot while in gear?

 

yeah
