How not to drive a RSX

[Lord_Vektra]

I dont know about the rev limiter helping or not but the space between shifting gears on the integ and the RSX are closer together than the other hondas, makes it easer to miss mostly 4th cuz if your hand slids left any you wind up in 2nd

I dont think that just because the gears are closer that people should miss shifts. that's what they made short shifters for is to HELP make shifting easier. Do the RSX gears not actually click into gear or is it kinda just like yankin the gear shift left all over the place in one big circular motion?

why then if i miss a shift and hit a lower gear than i should will i bounce off the rev limiter??? why then dont a lot of hondas and other cars for that matter have engine blowing problems anywhere close to as common as the rsx??? is it a coincidence the rsx is the one without a rev limiter??? i think not...

I've never driven an RSX, but I'm betting it does have a rev limiter. Cause if you put in neutral and push the gas all the way, its not just going to rev and blow up.

yes im sure it has a rev limiter but that has nothing to do with this guys problem the engine wasnt making the transmission spin wheels were spinning the tranny and that spun the engine understand havnt you ever gone down a hill in gear your not giving your car any gas but it keeps revin higher

ive heard from several owners the rsx doesnt have a rev limiter. of course i havent actually sat in one and revved it way up to see but thats what a few owners have told me. i couldnt believe it at 1st, but after i heard it from more than one person i guess its true. maybe none of them know what a rev limiter is.

a guy i know with an rsx type s did the exact same thing as this guy did, and ive heard of several more doing it and i wanna know why its so common on rsx's as compared to other cars...

All cars have rev limiters. On some its electronic on others its and engine explosion.
