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 ?
nar the gears didnt crunch when i forced it in. Nope it doesnt go into R when off or cold or hot. is this like a normal problem for integra's? hmmm im finking could there be a chance that its the transmission oil?
Hmm i dont know but mine is similar in the case when you try put it into reverse the first time and it just would go in a bit and wont slide into place......But thats when i then do those steps i posted and it works fine.
For me it will sort of crunch into reverse, not all the time, but just a hard click compared to shifting through the gears.
i full held it into place b4 and it reversed lol, had to go pump petrol...when i got back the reverse gear is stiffer and cant even slip it in abit anymore. uh oh lol
Try shifting through all gears when the car is off and try to listen if theres any unusual sounds coming from the gearbox.
Oh yeah make sure the clutch is in when changing through the gears.
Hows the other gears are they any trouble or anything unusual with them?
all other gears are fine, going to take it into the mechanics tomorow. Ill post up what the problem is when fixed
Hi Koevi,
Sorry for bringing up this old thread but searching the forums for cases with reverse gear and this thread is 100% the same issue that I experienced last night. Was wondering what the cause of the issue with your box was.
If anyone has had the same problem and had a fix that would be great.
Run down of my issue.
Bought a box from BYP B16 box with close ratio GearX 2-3-4 gears with a 4.7FD MFactory LSD. Taken out of their PIRZE EG
All the gears are fine except reverse, it never had any major issues going into reverse, only issue was sometimes it would just not completely go into gear and just putting it back into Neutral and putting it back into reverse works.
No crunches in any of the gears and is smooth.
Last night though, getting out of my drive way trying to put it into Reverse felt like there was no Reverse gear at all, like a brick wall was blocking the hole.
Finally got it into reverse and as you described it "the reverse gear is stiffer" when putting it back into Neutral or any other gear.
Sounds like an issue with the installer IE byp . Take it back to them - but be aware you will have difficultly claiming anything as they are part sellers not actual mechanics
If they don't fix it then get a tranny mechanic to check the shift linkage
Will do thanks. Will post the fix once I get it fixed.
where have i heard that beforeQuote:

3rd gear is crunching at 5,000 RPM + from 2nd to 3rd gear shift. Doesnt make any crunch or grind noises with shifts below 5,000 RPM. Im thinking the reverse and 3rd gear issues are related?
Experiencing a lot of heat coming from the shift area as well. I read on an MX5 forum could be lower shift bushings / shift boots.
Thoughts?
synchros,worn clutch, clutch cylinder, linkages bushs
ur car is lemon?Quote:

I had the same issue with my DC2R gearbox, I changed to Honda MTF and the 5k RPM crunching went away. I recommend saving coins for new Synchro;s they make a lot of differenceQuote:
