i have a 93 civic w? a b16 and an si transmission. my fifth gear keeps popping out. even if i hold the shifter it pushes out of gear. any ideas? my first thoughts were adjusting shift linkage(not adjustable), syncros, gear, or wrong short shifter. shifter is out of a 88 civic. please help

Sounds like your syncros to me.

even if it was only one gear? it feels like it isnt going into gear all the way

does it grind at all?

hookeduphatch95

no. not unless i try to keep it forced into gear

do you actually feel it in 5th gear?? or does the car rev like its in neutral ??

it goes into gear but it pops out shortly after. it doesnt stay in gear. it has no problem going in, but has problems staying in. kind of like most peeps i know.

i remmeber a friend telling me he had a short shifter once and it was to short and it would keep poping out of 5th gear, so you might want to check that.

I just rebuilt my H22. I put all kinds of goodies in it, but neglected to put a little something called transmission fluid in(I thought one of my buddies had done it). Anyway, when I shifted into fifth gear, it would pop out a few seconds after I shifted in. Long story short, you might want to check your transmission fluid. After I filled it up, it stopped, and drove like a champ.

i was two quarts low, i havent had a chance to test drive yet but do you think this will fix my problem????

E-brake or Handbrake

I'm not trying to post ***** but damn, maybe next time when you have an "emergency" you could have the courtesy to title your thread in a more searchable name.

Anyway. Yes check tranny fluid and take off that short shifter. Try either one or just both.

i'd guess either syncros or counter shaft bearing has moved out of the case.
