#61 of 6452 question on 2002 crv ex - 4spd automatic trans by pop3p Mar 22, 2002 (2:20 pm)
I have had my crv for about three days but am having a difficult time shifting in to second and first gear (from drive). It looks like when I attempt to shift from park to second, the gear stopped at drive and will not go lower. To shift from drive down to second gear is very hard, it would not move down to second. Am I doing something wrong. ??????   thanks mike phuvie

pop3p, I think the gear shifter(lever) does not follow a straight line. I've found it to be more like an Acura shifter, where you need to slide the lever to the left or right and then down to get it to change into the lower gears, and not just pull or push down on the lever in a straight line.   Hope this helps.   Moe

to shift to second and first don't move the lever to the left as you do for drive and reverse, from drive shift it straight down into 2nd and first.

but assert just a slight force to the left while pulling down.
#65 of 6452 Stop and go click sound by luv2motor Mar 24, 2002 (9:34 am)
Has anybody driving a 2002 CR-V 4-sp. auto experienced a click coming from under the dash when you come to a full complete stop and then again when taking off? I have brought this to the attention of my dealer and he tells me that it's the shift solenoid that locks out any possible accidental shifting into reverse while driving. The thing is, it didn't do it at first. Started to click after about 3,000 mi. I test drove other ' 02 CR-V's with less milage and they didn't click. Dealer says that all will eventually do this. Anybody out there with over 2-3 K experiencing this annoying click? If yes, let me know so that I can just shut up about it. If no, I'll be talking some more to Mr. dealer. Note: turn off the radio and listen when you come to a stop. Thank you Replies to this message: dianne4 (Jul 24, 2005 7:43 am)

I've also heard it, but I have to be really listening for it. So far it is not annoying at all. Don't know if it gets louder with more mileage.
#67 of 6452 Better tires for CR-V? by luv2motor Apr 06, 2002 (5:16 am)
The more I drive my '02 CR-V the more I love it. In fact, I like the car so much, I want it to be close to perfect! Which brings me to tires. I have Bridgestone Duellers(sp) HT. Are these considered to be excellent quality tires? Or are they basic tires that Honda uses? The reason I ask is this. I seem to get a loud amount of road noise on all surfaces. Little less on tightly compacted asphalt. I know that road noise was a big concern on previous CR-Vs and that my '02 was suppose to have a lot less. Have any of you out there replaced the stock Bridgestones with a higher quality passenger type tire and have these tire lessened the road noise? The tread design on the stock tires seem a little blocky, like truck type. Or, is road noise a condition that one must live with. Any comments?

The Dueler H/T are basic tires. I think that the 205/70/15 on the CR-V was designed specifically for this vehicle by Bridgestone. (Compare the CR-V version to any other vehicle with the H/T-branded tires and you will see what I mean.) When shopping Bridgestone's truck-tire lineup look for the "Uni-T" mark for higher quality tires: Dueler H/P for high-performance street trucks, Dueler A/T for offroading, and Dueler H/L for smooth riding (intended for the luxury-SUV market). When my factory-installed H/Ts wore out (30,000 miles) on my 2000 EX, I had them replaced with a set of H/Ls, which noticeably cut down on road noise. For maximum "hush" consider switching to passenger-car tires if off-road performance is not a concern to you.

I know that some owners have reported positive feedback for the Michelin X-Ones.   I have Goodyear Auquatred 3's on mine. I had the BFGs prior to the change. There's only a slight improvement in road noise, but I got them because for their decent marks for wet weather and all season ability. It's a must where I live.
#70 of 6452 Warning - Defective Ignition Switches by canuck12 Apr 09, 2002 (10:53 am)
As an owner of a '97 CR-V with over 125,000 kms (70,000 miles) I had a problem which caused my vehicle to simply die on the road. After a lot of investigating, I found the problem - a defective ignition switch. Since starting to broadcast this message thru various forums, I am not alone. Lots of others have had the same problem at that mileage and found the ignition switch to be the problem. Honda refuses to say anything so most dealers know nothing about it. See www.visualimpressions.ca/switch for full details. Replies to this message: compkari (Feb 22, 2005 1:01 am) ecotrklvr (Feb 22, 2005 8:29 am)
