    Syncros in the transmission are probably going out. I'm not sure what fluid you have in the trans, but drain it out and fill it up with Honda MTF. See how that works and let us know.

    Well I haven't changed anything since I got the car. But where should I go, honda or like autozone? Wouldn't it be the same anyway?
