Consumer Description

I OWN A STANDARD TRANSMISSION 2007 CIVIC SI. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO 1ST GEAR AND STARTED MOVING. I THEN TRIED TO SHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR INTO 2ND AT APPROXIMATELY 3500 RPM. I HAD THE CLUTCH PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED BUT COULD NOT PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO 2ND GEAR. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION BACK INTO NEUTRAL AND TRIED AGAIN TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. SECOND GEAR FINALLY ENGAGED BUT WAS ACCOMPANIED WITH A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THIS SITUATION WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH NO POWER. I WAS FOCUSED ON TRYING TO FIGURE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND COULD NOT FOCUS ON THE ROAD. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. I AM TAKING MY CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG.*CN
