ok real short, i put my car in gear, second gear actually. when i am on the gas it stays in gear but when i let off and it is winding down it pops out of gear. sometimes when i am on the gas it stays in gear but only if i hold it. anyone know the problem. it is full of fluid so that is not the problem. any info i appreciate. oh the car is a 96 hatch with a h22 if that makes any difference

Try replaceing the detent ball and spring. There are 2 of them. If that doesn't cure it your shifter fork needs to be replaced. When your on the gas, its under load and everything will stay in place. Once you let off the spring and ball holds the shifter fork in place. Very cheap fix. and its on the case. They are 2 12mm bolts with a crush washer on it. Make sure you replace and do not forget the washers. Once you take the bolt out, the spring usually pops out, pull it out and use a magnetic pick up to retrieve the metal ball's to get them out. Good Luck let me know if this fixes it.

if thats the problem than i love u man!! haha nah but can u tell me exactly what it looks like and were its at, i never heard of that. and do u know why it only happens in second. its also hard to downshift into second and at high rpms it wont even go into second. any pics of the parts u are describing and do i have to pull the trans, thanks alot for the help

I would have to look, but no you do not have to pull the trans. Its on the casing. There are 2 12mm bolts. one of them could possible be bad. That will be the one controlling the shift fork for the 1-2 slider hub. I would have to look for one on here and i'll post the thread for you to look. Lets hope thats it. If it doesn't fix the problem, then your gonna need a rebuild It may be the 1-2 slider or 2nd gear synchro, or like i mentioned the shift fork. But start from there. Its the cheapest part to get at Honda. They can easily pull the schematics up for you and show you exactly where they go.

Last time my car did that it was because of the syncros, since your telling me its second i'm willing to bet your beat the **** out of the car and "power shift" regularly. Easiest thing to check is motor mounts, if that doesn't fix it, i'm willing to guarantee its your syncros..

Just re-read and you said it's hard to down shift into 2nd... Since syncros have to get both input and output shaft spinning at same speed before you can shift into that gear, i will now bet you $6,419.16 (my account) that it's your 2nd gear syncros.

When you take it in for repair, might as well have them do all your syncros.

everyone said syncros, your probably right. i never power shifted but i got the tranny used and the dude who i bought it from use to race it

Yeah, I agree, he probably beats the **** out of his car, with a boosted H22, who doesn't?

Right, with that said, I also have monopoly money on the syncros, I doubt it's that whole detent ball thing - sounds more like a syncro problem.

did u put a turbo on my car. were does it say boosted and no i dont beat on the car, YET!! its sill in its break in period. only 533 miles on the engine so far, aintthe trans fe guy who i got the trans from use to beat the living **** out of that trans. but i only paid 75.00 so its no big deal. so if i get a 94-97 ex trans from a f22b1 will i notice a huge difference in gearing, rite now the trans is out of a 93 lude si
