Last night I was driving into a parking lot and noticed I can shift out of gear without pushing in the clutch. I easily slips out of 2nd and with just a LITTLE bit of force you can pull it out of 3rd. WTF is wrong with it?

It only comes out while going under like 20 and without being on the gas. Can anyone tell me what is wrong & an estimation on the cost of fixing the problem. I know its something with the clutch/transmission.. but what?

Other then being able to take it out of gear w/o the clutch.... everything else works fine. no transmission problems or anything.

 

lol thats normal man, i wouldent suggest doing it anymore ok ?

most hondas you can pull out of 3rd without the clutch pretty easily. just dont yank on it without putting the clutch in. if its like FALLING out of gear or shooting back out and you, then you have a problem.

 

It doesnt pop out of gear ever. I just noticed yesterday that I can do it after driving the car for 2 years and it kind of freaked me out lol. thanks.

 

yeah, its normal. any manual vehicle can do this.

With just BARELY pulling/pushing on the shifter? There is no resistance on it at all. I guess im just worried that something is wrong when there isnt. Thanks guys.

 

its normal dood, its jsut clutchless shifting, i can drive all day long w/o usign clutch, except for 1st gera to get going, :thumbsup:

 

when I first got my car I let this 70 year old guy drive it around. He was driving for a while w/o using the clutch at all aside from starting in first. As in he didnt use clutch to shift up or down into any gear except 1st. He didnt even grind at all. I know its possible if you really know what youre doing, but when he was trying to teach me to do it I was too scared to push it into gear .

 

shifitng into gear w/o the lutch is called rev matching....(i beliece) correct me if im wrong...but any stick car can do this
