Yesterday, i drove my friend's RSX-S for the first time. I notice that at a certian speed, the reverse gear will lock. You can't move the stick all the way to the right where the reverse gear is at. Therefore, shifting to 5th and 6th gear was easier then the S. At a slow enough speed (around 5 mph or less), it automatically unlocks the reverse gear and u can now move the stick all the way to the right. I own a MY00 S. I was wondering if the newer model S have that same function as the RSX.

 

Our transmission has a reverse gear lockout also. You simply move the lever over to the right and depress the lever and then move it into the reverse position.

I'm not sure that I would want to try and engage reverse while I'm moving.

 

we do? My s2k dont have the reverse gear lockout. what do u mean by depress the lever. show me how, show me how! twice, i missed shift 6th and hit reverse, grinding my gears!

 

wtf??

Boiler made a fairly clear description of how it works

Not sure how you could be hitting reverse like that without trying..??

 

the only way you can move the shifter all the way to the right and into reverse is if you push down on the shifter. by down i mean towards the ground.

 

Sorry guys.. im kinda wasted right now (still have to visit this site before i hit the sack). All i want is the set my S so it can be like my friend's rsx-s. I guess the previous owner unlock the reverse gear lockout, i never knew about it, nor that our car had that function till now. So how do i set back the reverse gear lockout again

 

You need a new knob

 

Have another, lush!!

 

???????? i just went around the block with the s2! I can't I tried pushing down on the knob! and everything.. it still won't lockout the reverse gear. Are we minunderstanding here? should i return back here tomorrow when im sober?

BTW: who have driven the RSX-S before. U guys probably know what im talking about

 

Good idea! Drive your car when you are drunk!!

We know what you are talking about, do you understand what we are saying?
