hey guys
i've got an 06 honda civic coupe (non-si)
and its only about 6 months old, recently i was driving down crowchild and i was in 5th, approached a red light and tried to shift down to 4 and IT LOCKS UP. it only goes into neutral and back into fifth no matter how far i pushed the clutch or how hard i tried to put it in.
when its in neutral, the shifter doesnt move left and right freely like it should, so i sat there in the middle of the road with my hazards on trying to figure out whats going on.
and all of the sudden it works again... it happened about 5 times already, only when im in 5th for a while and try to downshift.
i've only got an injen CAI installed, i can't think of any way that the CAI would be getting in the way of the shifter, i even got my friend to shift gears while i took a look at the cables in the engine bay... nothing.
im taking it to the dealer tomorrow, do you think they'll blame it on the CAI? and has anyone else experienced this? my warranty should be bumper to bumper, but i dunno.
thanks!
