There's no reverse

goofygamer · 12-17-2007, 10:28 PM

I'm not sure if there is a thread on this already, but I haven't been able to get my car into reverse. Everytime I put the gear into reverse, it would slide right out like there is no such gear as reverse. Also, when "spirited driving" 2nd gear would also not engage and car would just revv without going anywhere. Does anyone know what the problem may be? I have a TWM SS w/ Cable Bushings. Thanks.

Nobody has any clue?

Short shifter and bushings, i'd say check your linkage engine side.

**ErichPryde** · 12-18-2007, 06:48 AM

time to take the console apart and double-check everything....

P1ng · 12-18-2007, 07:09 AM

id say it has something to do with that short shifter.

nah the problem is when u installed the cable bushings, check that wire, right where the little metal sorta nut is that goes into the hole after the bushings...i guarantee u broke the wire, same thing happened to me

yea, I went to a local shop today and they told me that I broke the shift linkage. Does anyone know how much this cost? I broke that black plastic thing.. this is where. The black piece that is supposed to be attached to the bolt.

goofygamer · 12-19-2007, 01:00 AM

Does anyone know how to get the wire for cheap? i pmed rkalloo, but he hasnt responded back yet, so I am just wondering if anyone knows where I can find one for cheap? Thanks.

Well you just can't buy that piece. You need to buy the whole linkage cable set up. Which is the two cables that run from the shifter to the tranny. It cost me 130 for the cables and 4 hours with brakes and not knowing what to do. So good luck. I always warn people about this.

goofygamer · 12-19-2007, 01:59 AM

Where did you buy the linkage from?

***Zeuceone*** · 12-23-2007, 03:24 PM

i bought it from my honda dealer. try hodapartsdeals.com or collegehillshonda.com

This is why I don't mod my car performance wise.

I Vtec, do you? · 12-23-2007, 04:09 PM

^^ I'm with you on that. The last time I asked for a DIY to make sure I could actually do it myself, I got flamed for being a pussy lol. Who knew

PhantomSi · 12-23-2007, 04:16 PM

did it break because of the mods or because u shifted too hard?

SacrificeTheory · 12-23-2007, 04:56 PM

The same situation has happened to many of us I hear. Mine happened this morning. Now I got to take a trip to the dealership and hope for the best.

i broke mine because i lifted the cable to high and it snaped the plastic piece that keeps the cable straight. this is what people have also been doing when they install the cable bushings.
