So i've researched around on this forum and haven't really found the answers that i am lookin for.
To start off, i'm a new owner of a 2002 SI. It has about 71,000 miles on it. For the first week or so, everything ran perfectly. But im beginning to have some problems with the transmission. Lately it's been a little difficult to place the shifter into 1st or reverse. I have to usually release the brake for it to fall completely into gear. Yesterday i wanted to have a little fun and i ran it to 6000 rpm in 1st, i shifted to 2nd but it didn't fall totally into gear, it stuck halfway and started grinding! :mcry: i quickly put it into neutral and slowly pulled it back into 2nd. since then i've noticed a slight clicking noise coming from the car. It doesn't seem that it is coming from the engine. It sounds more like it's coming from the back of the engine bay, behind the engine, near the bottom of the car. Is it coming from the Tranny?? The car and gears run fine, but the noise is just out of the norm and i am worried. Any idea of what the problem may be? Should i take it to Honda to have them check it out??
Anyways, thanks for reading. I apologize for such a long post. i hope you guys can help me out, i've only been part of this community for a short time, but so far it's been great!! thanks again!
