  1. Problems & Solutions RSX
    Hey guys, first post. I'm having issues with my 02' RSX type s. Sometimes when backing up, the gear shift gets stuck in reverse. It takes serious muscle to push it out, however if I shut the car off, it pops out super easily. Sometimes on a cold start, I struggle to put it into 1st. Same thing...

  8. Bolt-On Basics: RSX Type-S
    Just bought an 06 type s and thought I’d start throwing some mods at it. Someone suggested shifter springs and i thought for $40 why not. Well i can’t get that 8mm Allen bolt out to save my life. Anyone have this problem before? Any suggestions?

    Long short story Replaced my passenger axle with a crappy oriellys version. Started shaking weeks after. Tried taking it out but the inner side must have been stuck into the half shaft ring I’ve brought this problem to a local import shop and they couldn’t get it removed. They tried all this...
  10. The DIY Garage RSX
    I'm trying to remove a hose on the vapor canister on a 2003 RSX and it is stuck. The connector is a quick connect style with two white buttons that I assume that you need to squeeze to release. One moves, the other does not. I tried spraying with contact cleaner to flush out debris without luck...
  11. Problems & Solutions RSX
    Hey everyone. So I'm in the middle of doing a timing chain job for my Type S. Was all going decent until I couldn't get the hex head bolt out for the left timing chain guide. Allen key felt loose at first but would still hold. Bolt would not come loose with any amount of pressure. Ended up...
  12. Problems & Solutions RSX
    So my rsx-s whenever i try to go in 2nd gear it feels like i have to really force it in all the time and sometimes the shifter will get kinda stuck and grind in gears. Probably related to clutch because only happens when the clutch doesn't fully come back out as if its stuck. Sometimes it will...
  13. Problems & Solutions RSX
    what's good everyone, About a week ago, I was driving home from work with my A/C on the low setting, when suddenly it kicked on to full blast. It did it all by itself. I tried messing with the speed knob but nothing. Dialed the knob to off and the blower motor doesn't stop blowing. I figured...

  15. Problems & Solutions RSX
    I have read on another thread there steps to fix the transistor that regulates the fan that is stuck permanently on while the car is running. I am wondering if that would also fix the fact that none of the controls work? I cannot change it from low to high, nor can I change the temp of air...

  17. Problems & Solutions RSX
    I can't pop it out of gear when doing high rpms, say 5500+. This is most noticeable in 1st when trying to take off quick, getting on the on the freeway. I have to wait for the RPMS ( and speed i guess ) to drop before i can pop it out of gear and it put in second. I changed the tranny oil...

    Hey all, So I used to have a base RSX a few years back, and I was on CRSX all the time; I ended up having a blowout and totaling it about 6 years ago. To save you guys the life story, I joined the Army, and drive an E92 335i -- it's a blast, I love it to death and it was easy to make 405WHP...
