Mine clunks when cold and grinds when hot.

Im working on getting the fix . . .

 

Honda knows about this problem. Are you having trouble getting them to acknowledge it?

 

I did a post about this a while ago, titled "Anyone having trouble shifting into first gear?" at http://www.s2000online.com/forums/showthre...p?threadid=5945 There were 27 replies there.

To see if the problem was oil related, I recently had the transmission oil replaced; however, that hasn't improved anything. The service tech also said that he had not heard anything back from American Honda about any reports of this kind of problem. (BTW, I forgot to mention in my post that I also have some difficulty shifting cleanly into reverse gear.)

 

I happens to me frequently. First and second are a pain to get into, especially when its cold.

I brought the car to my local dealer and went on a test ride with a mechanic and he thought everything was fine. This problem really bothers me but I want someone knowledgable about my car to perform the fix.

BTW, my car has about 18k miles on it now.

 

Well i am somewhat relieved to hear that this is not an uncommen problem. Problem first started getting into reverse from a stop, now first is hard to get feels like i left teeth on the ground. Has anyone solved this yet? last post years ago

 

Wow just awoke a 7 year old thread.

 

7+ years, very impressive

 

My is brand new... sooo yes.. it is hard to shift 1 , 2, reverse.. My reverse back then I have to use TWO Hands use to put it in reverse. Now is not so bad, still a little force to be use..

Then 1st and 2nd is also a little bit force too. Before I go anywhere, I just do a Shift in neutral from 1 to 6 and reverse to get it loosen up a little then drive.

The S have dual gear plate on 1st and 2nd that is why I believe is kind of hard to get it in... I don't know about the reverse, but maybe it too also have dual plate that why it hard.

 

I remember when... I ... posted originally... but not really.
