i just drove my car for the first time w/ my b18 swap and when it is in second or fourth gear it pops out into neutral.does anone have any idea why its doing this ,the only thing i can think of is i read you should use the civic shifter on the gsr shift linkage

Spade

syncros, time to rebuild.

-Whitey-

my guess is the last person tht had the car drovbe with the weight of thise arm on the shifter and that bent the shifter fork or it fucked up the synchros jusy rebuild it or buy a diffrent trans

i just put this motor in the car and it only has 25000 miles on it and no grinding the tranny seems to be fine ,i think it might be the shift likage is bent, caose it only does it in 2 and 4 when the shifter is back

In my experience, shifter popping out of gear has always meant bad synchros... but if it's 2 and 4, I would suspect bent shift fork inside tranny.

I suspect either bent linkage or a loose/torn motor mount.

For the last damn time, SYNCHROS will NOT make a tranny jump out of gear.

I think a slipping clutch may do that. Not entirely sure tho.

TheIntegraGuy

If your RPM's are at the correct spot, you can take it out of gear without the clutch.

might be low on fluid as well.. I had an issue with my tranny not staying in 5. it had a leak and ran out of fluid. Weeee that was fun

THANK YOU!

Sorry, bro, but you're wrong! I had a tranny that kept popping out of third gear. When I took it apart, the syncro was cracked [actually broken clear through] on one side. I replaced it and it never popped out of gear again...

Having said the above, I think THIS problem is linkage related also...

Mine is doing the same thing but only in second I was looking into getting a 95 si tranny.. would it be better to just rebuild this one or would I be better off with the 95 si? Bone I read in the other post that the si tranny has the shortest second will this help my car? will this tranny will work with my car? D16Y8? thanks

I agree with this one..My friend's tranny was popping out of gear while driving to work and on his way home, so we checked it out and it was EXTERMELY low on tranny fluid and when we filled it, it stayed in gear.. Is your tranny making anykind of weird noise? How much fluid did you actually put in there?

dose

it is not making any noises and i pulled out the bolt to see the level and it started to pour out ,im gonna check the level better when i go to work and get it up on a lift

Gear jump out will occur from:

-Worn or out of adjustment shift linkage
-Clutch housing misalignment
-Gearshift mechanism i.e shift fork
-Synchronizer assemblies (inserts, blocking rings, sleeve and clutch teeth lost backtaper)
-Excessive endplay in gears and shafts
-Worn pilot bearing
