***ryancasper2004*** · 08-07-2008, 12:40 AM

I NEED HELP ASAP...I just got done installing the corsport ss and cable bushings...I can't get my car to go in reverese now...everytime i try to back up..I hear this awful grinding noise and don't move an inch...what is going on?

***ryancasper2004*** · 08-07-2008, 07:51 AM

anybody?

Silvr08Si · 08-07-2008, 12:48 PM

is it engaging reverse? or just popping out?

***ryancasper2004*** · 08-07-2008, 01:11 PM

it won't engage..ill put in reverse and left off the clutch and is starts making a grinding/rattling sound get louder and louder the more you let off the clutch

Entarl · 08-07-2008, 01:29 PM

i sometimes have this problem but after trying numerous times i get it to go into gear.

Install must have been done incorrectly, check your cables for kinks you may have accidentally caused, you can also try moving the shifter base a bit, it may provide better shifting in a slightly different position. Check the big tabs on the cable brackets to be sure they are installed the correct direction, as installed backwards they can sit the cable forward a couple extra millimeters. Hard to trouble shoot remotely, but we don't have reports of issues with reverse in any of the cars we've installed them on, etc.

i got it fixed...i had to use a dremmel to sand the base down a little bit..and by repeatedly putting into reverse,( pulling down real head every time) it worked itself in there and engages now..haha i actually just purchased these from you guys sunday night..super fast shipping btw thanx...

Cool, good deal.

Thanks for the great DIY. After freezing the bushing, they went in without any problem. Imaginary rep points all around.

The original 07+ civic specific cable bushing design was drawn and engineered by us, the other people making 07+ bushings are copying us or the design is slightly different. They are solid replacement pieces, and honestly, both will do the job equally.

Hope that helps,

The short shifters are all also very similar, ours is a comptech knock off from when they went out of business, we starting picking up where they left off, only for them to return as CT.

SS was VERY easy to install. I didn't even need a tool, just used an open ended 12mm wrench and it popped right off with a bit of force.

bushings on the other hand.. it was probably my fault since I didn't sand them down a little bit, but it took alot of effort to get the larger one in. the small one went in like a hot knife through butter

onefreakz · 08-24-2008, 08:33 PM

i went to the corsport website but it only shows 06 civic si how do i order from you guys i have the 07 civic si, i read that for the bushing it works if u put them in the freezer..

Nice DIY. I did have a good bit of trouble trying to fit my 12mm down onto the bracket farthest back short bracket bolt with the cable in the way. If anyone else is having this problem, you can probably take out the cotter pin and slide the big cable end off the pin first, which will allow you to move the cable to the side and give you room to get a socket in there.
