Pballer2005 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 puting my 99 ex into reverse is kinda hard. not really hard, just harder than the rest of the gears, sometimes it feels like its in but i'll let the clutch out a little and it'll grind, like its half way in gear, then i have to push it in again and it stays. i've heard of other people having the same thing so i just wanted make sure nothins broken. its a manual, btw.

cranny Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 if it doesnt wanna go in smooth the first try , bring it back to neutral , let off the clutch , step on it again , than try again. id hate to say it again , but grinding isnt normal. ive done that in my car in a hurry dude , throw it in reverse , let off clutch , grrr , OOPS , not all the way in , lol , happens.

Rick B. Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 mine does the same thing. do what cranny said, it might help to let the car roll an inch or two when you put it into gear to make sure everything is lining up correctly. that helps me alot.

Pballer2005 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 yeah now i've gotten used to it so i let it roll a little and that works fine. cranny thats pretty much exactly what i do, the oh crap not in gear thing, it's just that its got that half way point where it feels like you put it in and i was wondering if thats normal cuz i've never noticed that with any forward gears.

nightshift customs 95 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I have the same prob w/my civic...and my friend has it with his prelude. Just when you go to put it in reverse, if it doesn't want to engage fully, push slowly out of the clutch until reverse is fully engaged, then press in on the clutch again and then take off. I don't know why some cars do it, but I know alot that do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 you can also try putting it into first, second, then over to reverse, that usually works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pballer2005 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 yeah i've gotten so used to it now i always do stuff like rolling a little, playing with the gears before i put it in reverse. i've got this habbit now where i put it second, then first, the over to reverse. i dunno even know how i started doing it, just happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick B. Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 also, if it starts grinding into 3rd, a tricked i learned to get rid of the grinding is to bring the stick halfway into 4th then up into 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 you can also try putting it into first, second, then over to reverse, that usually works That works for the grinding, although you can just do 1st to reverse. I usually do 2nd too, for some reason, but you don't have to. If it's just not going in, then let off the clutch and try again. It may take a try or two, but it'll go.

compuvision02 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Not sure if anyone said this, but Civics do not have reverse synchros, hense why it sometimes grinds or is difficult. I know a lot of people have said this, but I put it into first then reverse, it is habit for me now, I do it everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for the record NO car has synchros for reverse gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That grinding in reverse is not normal. Did you read the thread? You argued with everybody that we were wrong...all of us. If your tranny is in neutral, and you push in the clutch and go directly into reverse, you will grind. Gears are not inertia-less devices, they take a few seconds to stop spinning.

EGx94 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 i know one 00 si with similar prob. and my 94ex sedan used to do the same also. i also put it in first gear before reverse. now its cured, i happen to upgrade my clutch, ACT flywheel & clutch combo. it shifts smoother in reverse now. no clunk or grinding. maybe the linkages can be adjusted too for a smoother reverse shift. not sure though...

..SSR.. Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Its a common problem. Put it into 1-2 first then it will go right into reverse. Usually you can just pull the clutch pedal up with your foot then push it in and put it in reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gears are not inertia-less devices, they take a few seconds to stop spinning. yeah, and if you know how to drive manual, you know this, and don't f-ing put it into reverse so it grinds. Stop complaining about your gears grinding, cause it is only user error. Basically your telling all of us you can't drive manual worth a crap.

cranny Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 well they should fuk the reverse synchros and simply build a car thats not a piece of crap , that the average person can afford , lol. That grinding in reverse is not normal. Did you read the thread? You argued with everybody that we were wrong...all of us. If your tranny is in neutral, and you push in the clutch and go directly into reverse, you will grind. Gears are not inertia-less devices, they take a few seconds to stop spinning. im not gonna tell you again , its not normal for a transmission to grind going into any gear. thats like a gardener saying its normal for plants to die , lol. and theres no need to put it into any other gear before reverse , SSR , you being a guy that knows the internals of the tranny should know better. putting it into 1st before does absolutely nothing. reverse is seperate from any other gear in the tranny. its individual. if it refuses to go the first time , release back to neutral , let go of clutch , step on it again , and try again. or do like i heard another guy say one time on here , if you go to put it in , and it dont wanna go , keep pressure on the shifter in reverse , and slowly let the clutch out , it will pop in. SLOWLY LET THE CLUTCH OUT , lol. wont even take halfway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Cranny, I like you, and respect you, but you're so wrong on this one. With the tranny in neutral, and the clutch out the gears are spinning. When you push in the clutch, they begin to stop spinning. Since they're not inertia-less, meaning they take a few seconds to spin down, if you attempt to enter reverse before they stop, it will grind because there are no synchros. By putting it into another gear that has synchros first, it stops the whole assembly from spinning. Face it Cranny, this is a topic that everybody disagrees with you on, so it's obvious you don't know crap about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 it doesnt matter if they are spinning or not , as long as the LOAD is off them. i dont care what you think. ive had every series tranny apart in pieces and know exactly how they work inside. you guys think what you want , i will not lose sleep over it i assure you. whats the difference , if you wanna put it in 1st before go ahead. dont say i dont know crap about them , cause i know every single part fukin near inside your trannys. as well as SSR does im sure. all im saying kast is dont say grinding in reverse is normal , cause it fukin isnt. grinding is never normal , unless your on the dance floor and got a sexy bitch grabbing at your peepee , lol.
