Did some searching but nothing really helped as far as my problem went.

When I start my car and I am in park, then I shift to reverse, and sometimes drive, it "Bangs" into gear semi-violently, and the RPM's drop drastically. A few times (like twice) while shifting into Reverse it bangs hard then the whole car dies. It's kind of annoying because the transmission itself shifts fine. I would think the drop resistor would cause hard shifts if it were disconnected/faulty, but this is strictly in Park to other Gears.

Any insight would be appreciated

 

My old Accord used to do that and it was the transmission mounts except the car didnt die...

 

Ah, more reason to 5-spd swap then I guess?

 

Yea thats not a bad idea yo! !!

 

+1 on the tranny or motor mounts.

 

tranny/engine mounts.

I had the same problem earlier this year. When I looked at the rear transmission mount, it had failed completely.

Pop open your hood.

Start your engine. Stay in your driver's seat. Peek into the engine compartment from the driver's seat as the car is idling. Shift the car to Reverse and Drive with the brake applied. If your mount(s) are bad, your engine will move a lot when you shift into gear.

 

+1 on the 5sp swap

 

At least you can say that you managed to stall an automatic car by shifting. That's a pretty difficult thing to do.

 

Bahahaha!

 

Time for a five speed

 

or you could spend like $60 and an hour and fix it

 

Pffff... my car doesn't go to shops.

 

Amen to that! unless its like an alignment or possibly for A/C service...or exhaust work anything else I work on figuring it out with you guys and the FSM and the GFs dad

 

didn't say anything about a shop.

shop would charge u more than that
