popping/coming out of gear

si_zx6r · 10-27-2007, 01:13 PM

Had the sedan si for a while now, n i get the popping/coming out of gear when i put the it into 3rd, and it seems to jst come right out of gear... usually in a cold start... converse with a friend, and told me the rsx type-s also has the same issues... gues it's a synchronizing issue between the 6 spd. transmission and engine. supposedly it's gotten better throughout the yrs., but y is it that honda can't seem to fix this problem?
anyone got any answers or same problems.

To answer your question, the first thing you should do is to swap out your manual transmission fluid with either Amsoil or the genuine OEM Honda fluid.

AMSOIL MTF = butter smooth!!!

It should alleviate the issue, but you'll still probably feel resistance with third gear.
