Integra DC2 Vti-R cant get into reverse gear!

Hey guys
Im having a problem with my integra vti-R DC2, i cant shift my gear into reverse...it wont go in. All 5 gears work fine, its just the reverse. Any ideas why?
thx

Have you tried clutching out, putting into 1st again, and THEN trying to get it back into reverse?

yup, tried putting into first then into reverse...still wont go in, then tried holding clutch in and revving and tried putting it in reverse, still wont go in. Is the gearbox stuffed?

Yeah i have that same problem at times. But i think its normal.
What i do is if reverse doesn't go in then i:

• Put it in neutral
• Realise the clutch
• Put clutch back in
• shift between gears 3 and 4
• then try reverese again

Then reverse works for me.
Sometimes i have to do those steps twice. If you try this and it doesn't help then i think you may need to get your gearbox checked.

nar wont go in damit, last night it did it but somehow i fink i forced it in lol and it was working again but now it wont go in again. i duno jack about cars but can i change the reverse gear or do i have to change the whole gearbox? if so how much will it cost?

When you were putting it in did the gear crunch?

nope, it like wont go in at all. gears 1-5 works fine. Like when trying to put it into reverse it goes in a tiny bit then stops, wont go all the way into reverse

Your gearbox will need a striping and only then you can identify what's wrong. I would say it's the selector inside your box. If your in Melbourne take your gearbox off and bring it to me i can fix it.

Is it a big and $$ job to fix?

put it in third gear and pull the clutch half way out and then back to the floor (without stalling lol). this should get the gears in the box spinning and line up the reverse gear.

then try putting it into reverse. always works for me. :thumbsup:

just putting the clutch in and revving the engine does nothing for the gear box.

No you said that last night when you "forced" it in, it worked right? Did it crunch when you did?

does it go into R when the engine is OFF or COLD ?
