sometimes when i shift into reverse it doesnt engage all the way and if im not paying attention when i let off the clutch it grinds. then i have to throw it back and neutral and then it will usually do the same thing and not engage fully. so then ill have to put it back in nuetral and really give it a good rip. what could be causing this or is it normal.

 

2 things either you are a bad driver or maybe your clutch is beginning to go. Mine went fast because I drive like a maniac. I remember people saying the clutch will be the first thing to go on the 2.2

 

sounds like the clutch

 

i have to do that sometimes... but its never been a big thing. Just make sure you feel it pulling back all the way


:lookslikeimreplacingmyclutchsoon:

 

ya my clutch in my 2.2 been startin to go...

 

 

Take that all you 2.x 's hatin on our 3.0 trannys!!! wouldn't wish that upon anyone, but it just amazes me that ALL of our cars have some sort of tranny problem.

 

I think replacing a clutch is a lot cheaper than replacing a transmission buddy..I might change my clutch again just for the hell of it, say that about your 3.0 trans..2x CL > 3.0

 

yea more could go wrong with a honda auto than a honda manual. you could totally beat the shit out of a honda manual and it will last a very long time. lol i know how to drive stick. its not hard to put the clutch to the floor and shift into reverse. but ive been told by friends its might be the clutch. im thinking about ordering a exedy stage 1 clutch at the end of the summer anyways.
