Is there a lock out to get the transmission into reverse on these cars (Si specifically if it makes a difference)?
I ask because I have had an issue with getting the car into reverse after it has been driven around for a bit. The gear will either grind or almost slam into gear before it actually engages. I've been driven a manual transmission since before I could actually drive, so I know how to make sure it is in gear. I've even tried 2 or 3 times to make sure it is in gear (as much as it can be) before trying to release the clutch. But then the same issues...grinding and vibrating shifter or nothing and then the cars slams into reverse before moving. When the transmission is cold I never have a problem with reverse (leaving for work in the am), but always have a problem getting to work and reversing into a spot.
I have to go back to the dealer soon to pick up my plates and was going to address this anyway. But I wanted to see if I was missing anything before I look like a newb in manual car.
Thanks
