Today when I was driving home on the freeway my tranny pop 5th gear and went back into netural. I put it back into 5th thinking ok whatever. About 5 mins later it did it again.. So I put it back in and it started to do it faster and faster. I got off the freeway and took the streets the rest of the way home and it stayed in 5th no problem.

No grinding at all
itsn't hard to put into gears.

hmmm, so whats the problem is my tranny about to go out the door?

 

no, its not about to go bad, could have had something in the linkage. most gear poping out issues, most gear clash issues, and most gear blocking issues are linkage or shift fork related. you're 5-r fork could be slightly bent, check on the highway again and report back. you probably had something like a rock wedged in your linkage. leave it to honda to put shift linkage in the open elements underneath the car.

 

I drove it today... It was normal for about 10 mins then my 5th poped again

 

bent linkage or 5-r fork is the likely culperate (sp?)

 

I'm going to try and get it checked out tomorrow.. Can It cause more damage if its not takin care of asap?

 

does it go into 5th all the way or only half. same thing happened with me

 

Change your tranny oil. I've seen a couple cases when the fluid was low it would pop out of 5th on the freeway.

 

fluid would be a safe idea too, probably needs done anyways. if this problem isn't fixed, eventually you'll start tearing up clutching teath on 5th drive gear and 5th synchro sleeve. not to mention eat the crap outta the blocker ring. use honda mtf or 10w30 motor oil for fluid, fill until you can feel fluid level will the fill hole.

 

I was thinking it was the fluid.. but someone was telling me if it was low it would pop every gear. I have a tranny fluid leak right now I belive.

if u think u got fluid link u better get it changed and filled up before it get worst...

 

agree

 

I was just low on tranny fluid... 5th gear is fixed. I was starting to think my tranny was a b16 and had the factory recal on it.
