Wierd Issues

Man my 07 Si is all screwed up and stuff, the clutch is getting stiffer thats alright, but theres more problems. I i pushed in 3rd gear and sometimes it pops up, and i pushed it in good, then my 2nd gear grinds all the time while im driving regularly, i push the clutch all the way in too. and the worst thing is today i was at a red light it would go into first gear. it felt like i was hitting something, i tryed taking it out and moving it around into first but it still wouldnt go in so i had to start off in second. I've only had my car for 5 months with 4000 miles on it. The navigation is broke, and honda is ordering me a new one. now all this crap. its been happening for a while but my dad said it seems fine, but he only drove it once... i drove my friends black 08 si and he had it for like a month and its soo smooth, the gears go in good, and the clutch is soooo soft like a gas pedal, i want a new car

HRP_FG2 · 12-01-2007, 01:18 AM

thanks alot i saw that but i didnt read it earlier, so its my gear synchros that making it pop out and grind and not go in ?

rbsjnh · 12-01-2007, 01:29 AM

something like that...in my experience trannys start loosing one gear...then another...for some reason yours just seems to be fd up worse than everyone else...

HRP_FG2 · 12-01-2007, 01:34 AM

yea i know, it sucked when i couldnt get into 1st i was like mannn wth i probally missed up the 1st gear synchro because i put it in 1st when im still going sometimes.!!
btw does it burn ur clutch when u hold the clutch down when ur like at a light, because i do it all the time and soo does my cousins, and i said it was fine, but my dad said it burns, but i still do it cause im pretty sure it doesn't....

Yeah, you don't want to keep the clutch pressed in.. It will wear out the throw out bearings.

goofygamer · 12-01-2007, 01:52 AM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a clutch supposed to get stiffer as you put more miles on it? Because you breaking it in.

HRP_FG2 · 12-01-2007, 01:52 AM

a friend of mine with an 02 type s had his tranny rebuilt... replaced synchros for his third gear. i remember driving it and it sucked cuz even with the clutch all the way down 3rd would always grind. he told me it was because of the carbon fiber synchros aren't as sturdy as brass ones... but make the shifting smoother. he also told me that 5 speed honda trannies don't have this problem nearly as often as the type s did.

HRP_FG2 · 12-01-2007, 02:10 AM

im going to take my car to the honda dealer, u think theyll do something and fix it ?? or am i screwed ? ive been at the dealership soo many times, i went there for my navi then i called and ask if they got my new navi and they said its still in back order, then they called me yesterday and said they need the serial number on my old navi before theyll ship out the new on so i had to go and wait..

i had a 5 spd in my 01 ex for 75k and it had no issues other than a rattling input shaft bearing. the clutch was good and no grinding. sometimes it wouldnt go into first at a light, but youd just release the clutch and try again and you were good. no grinding unless i was lazy with the clutch.
