2012 Civic si Transmission Problem Our 2012 Civic si manual 6 speed has become really hard to shift into gear. We recently had record low temperatures with sleet and snow in the area. The car sat for 6 days and it was at this point the shifting issue began. The temperatures have warmed up since but the shifting issue remains. The clutch fluid reservoir is full and the shifting seems to get some better once we get it going. What should I be looking at to remedy the issue? |
Re: 2012 Civic si Transmission Problem check the fluid first, level and condition. |
Re: 2012 Civic si Transmission Problem Kinda vague description, so.... Inspect shift cables and linkages for wear and operation (maybe mice built a nest on top of your transmission or something) Check more into clutch and/or disc issues. Decide if the problem is actually related to a clutch mechanical or hydraulic problem instead of an internal transmission problem. Replace fluid first (use Hondas manual trans fluid) and try it out before deciding to take the trans out for major work. |
Re: 2012 Civic si Transmission Problem Thanks for your responses! It was a real easy fix. Even though it was hard to notice, the floor mat had wrinkled up under the clutch pedal a little and not allowing enough travel. |

Re: 2012 Civic si Transmission Problem Still too vague, I can't understand your complaint yet--or at least it's not yet clear enough to draw a mental picture of what it does or doesn't do when it acts up. Is the clutch not disengaging completely when you push the pedal down? How many miles on the car? Ever had a clutch job done on it? How much free play is in the pedal link? How close to the floor does the clutch start to engage? |

Re: 2012 Civic si Transmission Problem See if the rubber boot on the slave cylinder has fluid trapped in it? I mean the round boot on the slave itself, not the larger boot that covers the throwout fork and the hole in the side of the trans https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.civ...9e2f32f7f8.jpg |
Re: 2012 Civic si Transmission Problem No leaks. I'm going to try the easier and cheaper things first and start with replacing the slave even though it's not leaking. It's not the norm but I have been reading instances where they were faulty but not leaking. Pulling the trans will be the last resort. |
Re: 2012 Civic si Transmission Problem Try changing out the slave cylinder and see what happens. hopefully it can be that the slave has gone bad. |
