should i replace the clutch master cylinder or the clutch itself?

is this a new problem or has it always been like this? i have an 96 integra ls and i used to have problems shifting into reverse sometimes... then i just shift to 5th and go straight down to reverse... i never had any problems with shifting into one of the 5 gears though

check the shift linkage. it might be loose or rusted. check the clutch for slip next.if the linkage and clutch are both fine, it is probably a synchro, which means a new or rebuilt gearbox ($$$) sorry

I don't know about on a manual, but on my 96 automatic Integra I had this problem and it turned out to be the brake light switch. It was like 40 bucks to fix it. I hope that helps!

before you do anything major...check your tranny fluid to see if it needs to be toped off or flush it out and put in some new fluid....if its not the fluids fualt then its the tranny....
