Copy and paste and download the video.

And Dan Martin, this is what I meant by my gears "slipping".

So, my manual transmission's been having a lot of problems lately, however is temperamental and inconsistent. Some days the shifting would be flawless, while some days it'll slip and grind like there's no tomorrow.

Anyways, download the video, it'll take around 5 minutes?

Wow... That's weird. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it.

Sorry but I have no idea what is causing it. I'd leave the car with your dealer for a while to get them to fix it. Something is very wrong with your transmission.

 

yikes, its possessed

 

Thats unbelievable, i feel bad for you, and the tranny is not being a good girl. Take that in to the dealer and make them earn their money. Peace.

 

so the gear just pops back out? that's crazy...

 

That's freaking scary!!!



Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!






























Good thing I have 5AT.

 

Show the dealer the vid - that's pretty convincing.

 

The service manager actually test drove my car on July 5th, but didn't notice ANY problems when he was driving, (that's when my car decided to be a good girl). So I'm planning to call him tomorrow and show him the video, but the funny thing is..I can't even drive this car with ease, or with the assurance of safety.

Anyways, I'll keep you guys updated.

 

some of us have our own share of AT issues

 

Does your tranny graind or pop out only when it's cold? Does it repeat the same problems when the car is in operating temps? Cause for ALL the RSX-S's there is such a problem where gears pop out when it's cold and 2nd -3rd will grind!!!
Here's a few links if it helps

Here's a link from clubRSX where members have having a Tranny Petition

Another from clubRSX
3rd gear grinding...

And here's the bulletin for it
Acura Service Bulletins for Acura RSX Type-S

Good luck with your problem!!!

 

Man, that's NOT good.

 

have you checked the tranny fluid yet? Since they just did work on the tranny before this problem occured (If I remember your other post right) I wouldn't be suprised if they didn't fill it enough or at all

btw :right click save as: and it takes 60 seconds. Go cable :P

 

Cold engine or not, it pops. Hot or cold, it still pops. :sqnteek:

Thanks for the input though, it's unfortunate how many type-S are having problems.

 

Tranny fluid? No, I haven't. I'll actually take a look at it now.

I'll keep you guys updated, wish me luck!

 

Woooooooooah. That's got to get fixed fast.

Reminds me of my current Altima. The stick er... "comes to life" in third and fourth. We've nicknamed it "Willy." It never outright comes out of gear though.

 

That's happen on my bimmer too...(pop out gear, grinding, very very notchy, hard to shift) no actually a lot of E46! Couple of guys were filing a group complain to bmw canada about this issue but they came back and told us that it is because we dunno how to drive standard and this is bmw feel! I also complained to 4 bmw dealers about this, I end up got a flush of tranny fluid and 1 new transmission but still same sh*t! :sqntfawk:

Are you car being like this since day 1? or it start happened after how many miles?

 

It happened after they replaced my 2nd and 3rd synchros.

 

you should try and get them to replace the whole tranny. I wouldn't wanna drive around a car with a tranny thats been overhauled twice.

 

Yes, because nothing goes wrong with 5AT's

 

yeah don't u just fucken hate that?

everytime u drop off the car to get it fixed

when u pick it up its either "it's normal" or "we can't replicate the problem"

 

 

how do I get this thing to work??

::edit::, lol, thought it'd open automatically.

Well I'm not the biggest expert on Mannys, so I can't offer any technical advise. You must still have the warranty, but has the dealer not believed you or something? Anyway this would make wonderul evidence, hell even show them in person. Any how, good luck .

 

check the fluid yet?

 

Oh, sorry about that. The fluid's fine. -_-;

 

I dunno if you're referring to the original poster or me but my car has been "twitchy" in 3/4 gear since day 1. I hope a new TSX will stop all the teasing I get from my friends.

 

I had this problem with my 3 Series tranny, it usually means that there's an internal problem with the transmission. My tranny started doing this and soon afterwards I found out that my gearbox had thrown a bearing which shot around the gearbox until it self destructed internally.
I'd get it looked at ASAP. Especially since you've had the gearbox opened by Acura.

In remote cases it sometimes can be a linkage problem....if you'd recently mucked around with the linkage lately (making it too short) can cause this to occur as well...

 

Alright, I'll make sure I'll discuss how it may be affected by them opening the gearbox.

 

yeah its getting into lemon law territory.

 

Right, cause autos are known to have less problems then mannys

 

strange. Normally thats one of the big signs that there's no fluid in it. Would've been nice if all the problem was that they forgot to add fluid.......well not really but you know what I mean.

 

Yep, the fluid level's fine.

Anyways, I tried driving the TSX earlier today, and it wasn't any better. It actually got worse, but since I'm taking it to the dealer tomorrow (starting on 2nd gear sucks), it'll be like new once it gets fixed, or once the transmission gets replaced.

 

Uhm, another post just to avoid post #666.

 

Not true. Some people beat the crap out of their SS until it died.

 

:weird:

 

That is the weirdest thing I have ever seen.....i'm scuuuurrrred! :'( LOL

Glad to hear that the dealer is going to look at it ASAP! This is definitely about the time you should look at the lemon law clause!

Keep us posted as to what the dealer says

 

Hmm, not picking up the sarcasam huh?

 

I am moving this to Problems and Fixes (just a routine clean-up).

 

I took it to the dealer early this morning, and spoke with the Service Manager.

First, I explained how the gear occasionally slips, grinds and pops, then proceeded with the video clip that's posted here on A-TSX.com. He awkwardly smiled and said "alright, take your keys to Beverly, and she'll write you up. We'll take a look at the car."

Then later, I heard him mumbling "God, this car's pain in the ass", hahahaha I don't know if he was referring to my car or if I misheard his mumbling, but whatever.

Keep my car in your prayers you TSX-iligioners.

-iamhomin.

 

All the best man.

As a fellow MT brother, I surely hopoe this gets done right, right away.

That video is freaky

 

g'luck
