Hard To Shift Into Reverse

Hard To Shift Into Reverse
First gear to 5th gear swifts super smoothly and no noises or anything.
however reverse gear feels hard to shift into and sometimes it doesnt come out of the gear and i have to play around with the clutch and gas a little to have it come out.
what could be the problem????
time for a new clutch maybe? or do you think its something to do with the shift linkage?
the car rolls from a stand still on first gear using clutch alone and picks up pretty good.

my reverse is messed up too, sometimes i have to struggle to pull it down, or put it against the side harder and then throw down.
i find myself having to sometimes put it into another gear before i can throw it into reverse.

k people this has nothing to do with shifting into first or another gear to be able to put it into reverse.
thats normal for honda's.
this actually doesnt shift in or out.
shifting it is really rough even if i run it through another gear first.
and taking it out of reverse gear is even harder because it feels like its in lock.

I was thinkin clutch too...or the adjustment there of...if it is adjustable....
My civic sometimes doesn't want to go into reverse, i let off the clutch in neutral then press the clutch in again and it goes in smoothly....but it sounds like your issue goes deeper than this.
Not sure what to tell ya....how many km's on the stock clutch?

This should have nothing to do with your clutch.
You could try checking your your shift linkage bushings for ware.
Does your idle drop a little (or rise) after your done backing up and trying to take it out of reverse?
If so this is rather common and nothing to worry about.
when your engine revs up or down (even a small amount) it changes position causing your shift stabilizer to tighten and lock your tranny in gear.
Hope that helps
