[SPOOLIN K20]

you might of tore out the syncos then your in for a bad day comming soon. . .now does it grind in every gear when shifting at low rpm?

[k20fg2SI]

no it just grinded the one time real bad but normal driving it fine it had a smell after i parked my car it doesnt grind all my girl get in smoothly now now like it was before so im wondering i did something bad for it to be so easy to get into gear

[SPOOLIN K20]

smell was prob your clutch. . .did you at least win?

[k20fg2SI]

i won but i think i ****** my car up so it was a lose for me haha it was a 1.8T jetta turbo set at 8psi i hope nothing is wrong wit my tranny i still have warr but **** dealer gonna give me **** for it

[SPOOLIN K20]

you should be fine if you happen to notice it doing it more and more you may wanna have it checked out but for now dont worry about it. . .as long as you didnt pull it while it was grinding yull be ok

i wouldnt worry about it

[k20fg2SI]

yea as soon as it grinded witha loud sound i pulled it out of 3rd real fast and then poped it into 4th but it could just be my clutch was fully engaged i hope im fine haha

There are four keys to the right of the "M" key on the keyboard that want to introduce themselves to you. You should talk to them.

You definitely did something bad. You're in a civic, not a race car. I hope you had enough fun to make it worth replacing half of your powertrain that you undoubtedly damaged.

try going into 2nd and 3rd then go back to 1st. Play with the clutch a little. Make sure you have the clutch fully pressed. Im having this problem also. But the harder you push it, its not going to go in. I always held my hand there and give it a little force into 1st to make sure it goes in when im going to take off. If you dont do this then its going to grind and pop back out

all the gears run threw good.. but sometime at like a stop sign not at a full stop puttin it into 1st it doesnt go in not all the itme at times ahh would this be something i would go to the dealer about? cuz it mite not happen when they test it out. should i be worried ?

[SPOOLIN K20]

[k20fg2SI]

yeah im having that problem also. But take it to the "stealership" and tell them about it. But it happen to my old car. EG hatch. But to me im use to it. But yeah. Take it to the stealership and tell them your problem and see what they can do about it. I need to take mine to it too. Ive been holding it off for like 6 months now. xD "failed" But yeah. When at a stop (or rolling) and it doesnt want to go in, keep it in first gear, when it feels like it doesnt want to go into first give it a little force, slowly let off the clutch (while giving it a little force) and then give it a little gas and it should go in fully. It always works for me. Other than that mess with the clutch a little like go into first and if it doesnt go into it. Then go to second then third. Now go back into first. It SHOULD let you go into first. Try it and see what happens! Good luck!
