Shifting into 1st
Whats up people,
Sometimes I have a problem when shifting into 1st. For a split second it doesnt allow me to shift. Then I try again and its fine. If i really push it hard it goes in, but I dont think it should take that much force for it to shift into 1st. its 99 model. Its not always happening, but its at the point that its getting annoying now. All the other gears are fine.
HAs anybody had this issue with there Honda/Acura. Could it be my tranny fluid? or is it a mechanical problem. Let me know.
THanks.
Sean.

usually its because the rpm's are too high...if your downshifting while coming to a stop or something, just keep it in neutral til you come to a complete stop, then shit into first. However, if you are downshifting to speed up (why you would need to go all the way into first I dont know), its having trouble going into gear simply because the rpm's don't match...

Also sometimes if you're stopped and trying to shift into first and it won't go in I find it a little helpful to roll forward a little bit. The gears are probably just not matching up quite right
