Grilled Cheese 4 Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) I appreciate that advice. I will try that;however, lately it's doing it from first to neutral occasionally. . It has been doing this on and off for a couple years but always only into reverse. Could the shifter control be funky maybe a cleaning? I found this for 20 bucks. Thank you all!!! I will update you shadetree this weekend and let you know if that worked. Thanks shade! Edited November 7, 2023 by Grilled Cheese Because 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

retro 4,048 Posted November 7, 2023 Welcome to the forum! As shadetree said, you'll be sorry if you buy that china switch assembly. Aftermarket parts do not work on Hondas. The part number you're looking for is 35200-HN7-003. You can buy new or used but it's got to be a genuine Honda switch assembly. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grilled Cheese 4 Posted November 7, 2023 Very good, appreciate all of your help. I'll steer clear of chinese parts. I love my honda and don't mind getting the proper parts👍 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They stand behind their used parts, even if they aren't the cheapest most of the time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
