FIFTH GEAR POPS OUT...pressure plate?
ok, im gonna try to explain it the best i can....when im driving, my fifth gear seems to pop out and go to neutral...but..it seems like it odnly does that when teh engine is cold...whe ni let it warm up for 10mins or so, it don seem to do it. Im runnin little over 200hp to the wheels w/ a stock clutch, so all my friends seem to think my clutch is giving out, blow pressure plate..etc...but they said if its the pressure plate, it would pop out in all gears, BUT im not in the gear long enough for them to pop out, only 5th..sorry if im confusing..i needh elP!!

Honda MTF i just motor oil i think its 10w30 or 5w30, so dont pay $4 a quart for that ****. And like everyone says, it has to do with the 5th gear synchro.

Definately try to fill your tranny first, Honda MTF is what I suggest along with many others. It has things that regular oil doesn't have. I used regular oil for a while and ran into some synchro problems. The manual says that you should only use regular oil for a SHORT period of time until you can get Honda MTF.

RMdelsol94: mostly its your 5th gear syncro,...mine did this also,..if it grinds or anything when poping out then its definitely your syncro,..but mine popped out smooth and it still was the 5th gear syncro
simatic: if you have a stock clutch then yes your shiet is about done,...my stage 3 catches high,..but thats what clutchmaster clutches do

Main shaft bearing or counter shaft bearing is dead.
my mainshaft and throwout bearing were both dead...all it did, was slipp really bad, and make a whistle noise.
i know, i replaced them myself...after that, the problem was fine...never had a 'poppin out problem'...sounds like synchros to me.

its not the mainshaft bearing...those arent symptoms of a failing bearing...
