#21 of 80 transmission noise by buffdizzle Mar 15, 2007 (3:37 pm)
I got my civic about a year ago. In august my mileage was about 7k . I began noticing that whenever i was parking and changed from drive to reverse and vice-versa, the transmission makes this loud "CLANK" noise. If anybody's had this issue or knows anything related, please share your knowledge. Replies to this message: anythngbutgm (Mar 29, 2007 11:47 am) xmontx (Apr 02, 2007 1:31 pm)

Replying to: buffdizzle (Mar 15, 2007 3:37 pm) If it's what I am thinking, it's normal. Both my S2k and Impreza do this.

Replying to: buffdizzle (Mar 15, 2007 3:37 pm) I have the same noise you're talking about on my 2007 civic SI . I don't think it's a problem, b/c I heard similar noises on other cars. You can always talk to your mechanic when you get your car serviced again.
#24 of 80 2007 civic SI transmission by xmontx Apr 02, 2007 (1:33 pm)
Anyone have a problem with the popping out 3rd gear or transitions from 1->2 gear and 2->3 gear and then 4->3 gear? I heard from many people that changing the transmission fluid with GM syncomesh works and gets rid of the grinding/popping/shifting problems.   Also, what's the best transmission fluid should I be looking into?

Replying to: xmontx (Apr 02, 2007 1:33 pm) I use GM synchromesh FM in my S2000 and the shifting quality was improved because of it. I never had popping issues and grinding only occured in the cold mornings but overall shifting quality was "smoothed up".   Research has told me that the SM is the best one. Redline makes a fluid but I believe it's tempermental in the hot weather.

Replying to: anythngbutgm (Apr 03, 2007 10:10 am) By switching to GM synchromesh, will that void my warranty? Also what does "FM" stand for in GM synchromesh? Is it a higher transmission fluid?

Replying to: xmontx (Apr 04, 2007 7:29 am) I've got the same question. My s2000 is going into the dealer on Monday because of rattling in the transmission. Will they be able to tell that I've put in GM Syncromesh FM? The car is still under warranty and I'm worried they'll us the fluid as way out.

The Civic SI tranny is most likely the same or close to the same as the RSX-S tranny. Which many people have had some big time trouble with. If the problem gets worst and continues use the lemon law. And as long as the GM Syncromesh oil is the recommended weight it won’t void a warranty. But I would recommend better oil... try Amsoil Syncromesh (they ARE the best).

#30 of 80 Clank sound and another weird problem by mthakershi Jun 11, 2007 (8:39 am)
Hi everyone, my civic ex 2007 is just 2 weeks old. I noticed the 'clank' sound last week but I think it is normal. But this morning something weird happened.   I was in 'drive' gear and wanted to stop the car completely as I wanted to make a right on a highway service road. The car was probably 7 to 8 mph at this time. It was just coasting and I was not applying gas. When I started applying the brake, instead of stopping, the car started surging ahead with some hiccups. That made me push the brake pedal harder but the car simply won't stop. Ultimately, I couldn't stop and had to make the turn without stopping. Fortunately, the approaching car driver had noticed this and had slowed down. I am sure I was not pressing gas pedal instead of brake. After this I drove about 10 miles but everything seems normal now. But if the car doesn't listen to the brake, it is obviously very dangerous. Please suggest what could be wrong.   Thank you so much.   Malay
