Transmission shifting problems
Hey guys im new on here just bought a 2008 civic si and the clutch bites really low like barley an inch and its engaged also The car doesnt shift smoothly at high rpms leading me to beleive either the cmc needs to be adjusted or I need a clutch. Also I will be doing a transmission service do you guys reccommend any syncro mesh

Re: Transmission shifting problems
Clutch fluid low or empty?
Air trapped in the clutch system?
Wrong fluid in the clutch system?
How much clearance or free play is between the pedal pushrod and the master cylinder? (measure free movement at the pedal, compare to specs)
It's extremely rare to need to change the pushrod adjustment. Usually there's a problem elsewhere to cause a symptom like you describe.
I'd use Hondas manual transmission fluid. It's absolutely correct, no question.
