Hey guys i recently got a DSM a 98 gsx eclipse about 6 months ago. I am trying to do alittle work on it so i can start driving it as my first car. I am also new to DSMtuners and loving it so far!

But heres the problem i am having. I was searching for an answer but couldnt find anything exactly or really to close to my problem. When i start up my car, if i try to put it into reverse it wont go. I got to put it into first then back into reverse to go. ( I got a 5 speed BTW). Also i notice when i am driving and put it into a new gear it makes a wierd almost like a binging sound when i get it into that gear. It doesn't grind or pop out however it doesnt slide into the gear smooth either. But it doesn't happen everytime. It usually happens from first into second but it has happened other gears as well.

I brought it to a mechanic. ( not for this reason however) but he checked my transmission fluid and he said it looks good. I am not sure if it the clutch? But i would think it would do it in other gears and more contuniously.

I highly appriate any help or advice you guys will give! Thanks!
