Did you change your transmission fluid?
Go to Honda n buy some transmission fluid.
You should have gotten the transmission fluid change a while ago if your at 82k mileage. Honda transmissions are weaksauce.

take it to Honda, or AAMCO, probably some simple fix, your tranny is from Japan it should outlast your car.

Sorry, THESE trannies are NOT from Japan, and I doubt ANY will outlast the Car.
Honda blew it with the 2000 and up trannies.

JUNK!

Umm.... sticks don't slip because of fluid, autos do. But I had to change my fluid because the tranny was sooo notchy. It helped a lot.

BTW, Only 2 1/2 quarts of manual transmission oil if your car is a manual. And the other way around if your transmission is an auto.

My 2nd gear was starting to slip at sharp long turns. Now my clutch because of the nitrous.

OEM, Im just going to replace it with a new one. Exedy clutches go for like 100 a pop. I drive alot so I would hate how the organic clutches feel. I think the racing clutches are way to hard to press. I'm just going to get a lightweight flywheel and oem clutch set if I were to change it.

80 shots is not that bad.

Check the shift cable, it may have stretched or is worn somewhere.
