I just bought my first Honda and its pretty much the coolest thing since a wheel of cheese BUT my question is that it shifts through all gears like a champ but putting it in reverse it makes a loud grinding noise ONLY when im rolling backwards, if im at a standstill and put it in reverse it goes in fine???? and my buddy who owns a Honda says his does the same thing.Honda thing or do we both have serious problems haha thanks

 

@ a standstill always 1st, then reverse and you'll never scratch reverse. Yes, its a Honda thing(flaw)

 

Nope welcome to owning a 90's Honda. my integra does it too

 

Same for my Civic no worries OP.

 

haha ok sweet thanks very much

 

get it checked out anyway. no gear should grind.

 

its the spur gear... common in hondas

 

pretty sure the manual even states to shift into first before you shift into reverse.
