Tranny wont stay in reverse.
I put my 2000 cx in reverse and backed 10 feet out of the garage. Came back couple min later, now I am having a real hard time putting it into reverse. When i do get it into reverse it will pop out, pretty harsh pop. What should I do?

Check to make sure you have plenty of tranny fluid, also what kind of condition is your clutch in? Chances are if you have a worn clutch and/or a master/slave cylindar that needs to be bled, it wont engage in any gear right. Is it doing this just for reverse? If so, then i would get in the market for a new tranny.

i fixed my countershaft bearing, put on a exedy stage 1, surfaced flywheel, and 1.9qts of mtf. All gears are fine except, second still pops out if i let off the gas too fast, and my reverse problem.

If second pops out, thats a clear sign your tranny is shot and needs to be replaced.

I'm sure that's not something you want to hear
but he is right. I could say your synchro is bad but reverse doesn't have one.

No you dumbass, its a clear sign you will more than likely need to replace the mainshaft bearings. 99% of the rebuilds I see are grinding because the mainshaft bearings failed, and the synchros are still in excellent shape.
You could have bent the reverse gear holder, its not that stout of an arm, and you could bend it pretty easily (at the very least wear it out).

Don't call him a dumbass... You sound like a dumbass yourself saying it's the "reverse gear holder" when he says second gear also pops out. Not being mean or anything but just being observant.

Its a d-series tranny, its nowhere near worth that kind of time and trouble to replace, much better off for just replacing the thing. THe time you spend actually getting the parts, pulling the tranny, opening it, and doing it all, then putting it back togather, you could have easily found a replacement and thrown it in, problem solved. If it were a B-series trans, thats another story.
Keep your rude comments to yourself.

Re: (97Ej6mike)
should matter if it's a D or B series transmission. it is clearly evident that something was installed incorrectly or the shift detents were not installed or the springs or setting.

Note how you said also, second gear is popping out because the bearings are more than likely toasted. Pay attention. Easy way to tell that really quick is to pull out that 3/8" sealing bolt and see if pieces of the bearing cage lodged themselves below the bolt. That is pretty common.
No, i just hate people that insist on replacing the whole box without diagnosing the problem, gears are worth money, no point in junking the box if you don't even know whats wrong with it.
It takes less than 15 minutes to take apart a Honda transmission and give it a thorough inspection, i think your just lazy.

The common tuner doenst know how to inspect or disassemble a trans. The common tuner would not know what to look for. We arent all transmission specialists. Its not a matter of being lazy, its D-series, Not B or K-series, its much easier to just replace. Their a dime a dozen.

Re: (97Ej6mike)
A transmission is less complex than and engine, so anyone with half a brain could do it, they just think of all the crazy gears turning all at once and get scared, there are plenty of rebuild threads out there for the new guys to understand how a manual shift transmission works.
