Fun tip for 5th and 6thG Accord owners: You got a tailgater really close? Throw it in reverse. The car WILL NOT, I repeat, WILL NOT shift into reverse (unless you're going below 10MPH). The car shifts into neutral (SAFE!) and throws on your reverse lights, add brake lights as neccessary. It'll get ANYONE off your ass (including cops!) and if you're looking hard, and if they slam on their brakes, you'll be rewarded with a huge head nod from them. laugh laugh laugh. I've even revved it all the way to redline in reverse. Totally safe. I learned it from a local Honda dealer who showed me in a dealer Accord.

the engine wont shift into reverse when the speed is above 25ish. it will keep it in neutral

i think this was discussed before on HAN somewhere

I don't have that problem. I do have a problem with people in small cars tailgating me though.
