I'm not sure what is going on or why this is happening but whenever I put my car in gear/shift it seems like theres some resistance. The clutch is fine and the car drives fine also, but I have no idea why its doing this...After driving for a while it does seem to go in gear a little easier but still harder than normal, any opinions?

 

no.. but everytime i see one of your posts i drool over that hotties pic.

sorry.

 

i have heard that sometimes this is normal. it happens to me also, almost always in 1st and reverse only. if you clutch it all the way, seems like there is resistance, but if you slowy let off the clutch, it will pop right in place.

no i know what youre talking about, that is usually due to trying to put the car in first or reverse while moving...even when going from 2-3 or 3-4 it doesnt go in smooth...wasnt like this in the 3 yrs ive owned the car...

 

worn synchros? just a thought.. thats the first thing that came to mind.
change your tranny fluid, see if that helps.

i agree

 

I seem to be having the same problem. It shifts fine while not moving, but once it's going, the stick seems to, well, stick. I was a little low on fluid, so I topped it off and tried bleeding the clutch, which seemed to help a tiny bit (might be worth a shot for you), but didn't solve the problem. I'm gonna change the fluid on Thursday, but anyone else have any ideas? Synchros? Clutch master/slave cylinder going out?

 

get some gm syncomesh friction modified. it fixed my high rpm 5th gear grind

 

your blocker rings might be worn or there is excessive enplay them

 

my cars only got about 26k miles on it...should the tranny fluid need to be replaced already?

 

ok i'm at a red light, and it turns green. i try to shift into 1st, but it gets stuck half way. i have to shift back to neutral and shift back up to 1st. [gets annoying]

anyone else suffer from this?

i dont remember off hand but i think its every 30,000 for the tranny fluid..i would do that and see how the shifting is afterwards.

I replace mine every other oil change, but I'm just **** about it

Try the GM Sycromesh Modified stuff, heard great things about it... Search to find out more specifics

i agree... and don't shift halfway in the the gear and hope it pops into gear. that's not a good idea...

 

I had the exact same problem, hard to get the shifter into gear, on every gear, while driving. I pulled the transmission off and found little pieces of metal broken off from around the springs on my clutch disc. You need a new clutch disc at the very least. Mine had 130K+ miles on the original, so I went ahead and changed out the whole clutch, disc and pressure plate, and put on a lightweight flywheel, too.

oh wow...well my warranty if up this month you think it'd be covered if thats the case? im definately going to get the tranny fluid checked today and what not, but if its something more...AHHH.

 

well dang if it's under warranty don't do anything, just go to the dealer and tell em to fix it.

good plan i just hate going over there cause theyll find every excuse not to fix it...(ie. my short shifter) bleh we'll see what happens.

 

yeah sometimes I have the same problem.... It seems like all integras are hard to get into reverse... sometimes the trick is to put it in first then into reverse.. or just let off the clutch it will pop in

Sometimes I have a CRAZY hard time getting it into first.. that just needs fiddling around, but sometimes letting off the clutch with that DOESN'T work and it grinds bad =[ I also have a shortshifter and that ain't good for your transmission so that could be my problem!
