    gears are stiff

    I just thought of something... a week before the stiffness, I added some Dot 3 to the clutch resevoir(not honda branded). I kinda added a tiny bit past MAX. Could this be a problem?

    great, since I have yet to buy some jack stands. I went to autozone to get Honda MTF but they don't carry it. So I'm going to go tomorrow to Honda since today they were closed.

    gears are stiff

    True, but shouldn't then all gears be affected, why just 2, 4 , and reverse. Also those three gears are stiff even when the car is turned off.

    gears are stiff

    thnx... I was actually thinking it might be the transmission fluid is old, since its possible the previous owner didn't change it. Though wouldn't the mechanic have changed it after changing the clutch which was done recently? I was going to ask them but I'm having issues with them(not honest)...

    third gear grinding...why???!!

    check if your clutch is slipping. Drive normal, then hit the gas if the rpms go up and you don't get any noiticible speed.. its the clutch. In my case it can't(hopefullly not) since the clutch was change less than 2 months ago.

These couple of days there has been 4 times where I have the gear in 2 and out of no where it pops out, so I clutch and shift to second again.
