Hey gang, I'm driving a 2008 5 speed civic.

I've started to notice when i shift into second gear, every now and then there is something blocking me from fully engaging second. Usually i just let it out into neutral, then pull it back into second and it goes in. Sometimes it'll do this 3 / 4 / 5 times in a row, then sometimes it wont do it at all for a couple days. I don't notice it in any other gears, just second.

Any idea what this might be? if it's something 'common' is it a warranty thing? I must admit this is my first car that's a manual transmission. I dont ever grind the gears or ride the clutch...

Thanks!

 

welcome to the forum. This sounds to be a syncro problem starting, take it back to your dealer and have them check this out. Document the day, time, how often it does this. Show the dealer how many times during the day or week it does this. Should be under warranty if under 36k or 3 yrs.
