Clutch Issue

smacneill · 4 Weeks Ago

Hey gang, I'm driving a 2008 5 speed civic.

I've started to notice when i shift into second gear, every now and then there is something blocking me from fully engaging second. Usually i just let it out into neutral, then pull it back into second and it goes in. Sometimes it'll do this 3 / 4 / 5 times in a row, then sometimes it wont do it at all for a couple days. I don't notice it in any other gears, just second.

Any idea what this might be? if it's something 'common' is it a warranty thing? I must admit this is my first car that's a manual transmission. I dont ever grind the gears or ride the clutch...

Thanks

If it does this put it back into neutral, and release the clutch. Then repress the clutch, and go into gear.

I sometimes but rarely have this problem on my Evo six speed, usually synchro related.

sounds good i'll give that a shot. although, normally just pulling it into neutral and back in works fine.
