Hi,

I have Accord 93 LX (standard). I noticed sometime, even the car is at
a complete stop, the first gear gets hard. I have to push is with
force for 1st gear. This happens sometimes and only for 1st gear. Rest
of the gears are very smooth.

Any idea?

Thanks.

noticed and weird rattles with the clutch pedal depressed????

Your clutch might have "spit" one of the springs out of the pressure plate,
thus causing the drag.

Quite common.

Where did you get the information this is quite common?
I have the same problem with my 91, I am pretty sure it is the syncros but I
may be wrong. I found most Honda mechanics have very little experience with
manual trannys.
