2003 Honda Civic Power Train

MANUAL TRANSMISSION CLUTCH DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BUT SHIFTING IS NOT SMOOTH AND LOTS OF TIMES EVEN "GRIND" INTO 2ND GEAR AT LOW SPEED(DISENGAGE AT ABOUT 3000RPM THEN SHIFT INTO 2ND). FEELS LIKE THE SHIFTER TIRES TO PUSH BACK TO NEUTRAL. ALSO CLUTCH PEDAL DOES NOT RELEASE SO SMOOTH AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF DRIVING, MAKING NOISE WHEN PUSHING DOWN AND "CLICKS" WHEN ENGAGING.*AK

AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF DRIVING MY BRAND NEW 2003 HONDA CIVIC SI. I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE A VERY "NOTCHY" AND ROUGH FEELING IN MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL ALSO GRIND GEARS, AND I AM MORE THAN DEFINITE THAT I AM SHIFTING PROPERLY. IT GETS WORSE IN THE WINTER BECAUSE THE CAR WILL HESITATE A LOT WHEN TRYING TO GO IN ANY GEAR. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO HONDA NORTH OF DANVERS, MA FOR THEM TO INSPECT THE PROBLEM, YET THEY FOUND NOTHING TO BE WRONG. THEREFORE, NO ATTEMPTS TO WERE MADE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THIS ISN'T A PROBLEM IN WHICH THEY CAN TRY TO SIMULATE AFTER 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING. I FEEL THAT IF THIS PROBLEM REMAINS, IT WILL BE INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND IS DECREASING THE CHANCES OF DRIVING SAFELY. THE CAR'S SECOND WINTER IS COMING AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. I AM A MEMBER OF WWW.EPHATCH.COM, A ONLINE FORUM COMMUNITY OF 2002-2005 HONDA CIVIC SI OWNERS, AND MANY OF THE MEMBERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS, YET THE DEALER THEY WENT TO COULD NEVER HELP THEM. ONLY A RARE FEW HAVE HAD THERE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM FIXED, BUT ONLY THROUGH A LOT OF ARGUING AND PERSUADING.*AK
