my buddy cant go into reverse how could i fix it??
i have a h23 tranny lying around, can i swap the reverse syncro out? if so any one got pics of the syncro or can describe it? i have taken a couple apart and put them back togeather so i konw some stuff. any thing helps thx in advance

 

oh it is a h22 motor are they compatible??

 

i'm not sure if reverse even has a syncro, you might have bent a shift fork instead

 

Reverse does not have a syncro.

Did he grind 3rd really hard right before this happened?

 

i dont know i will get back to you guy this weekend or fri night when i getr home and go check it out \. you guys are like savers

 

i had the same problem it ended up being the 5th gear assembly was pricey to fix 5th and reverse are connected it was 1500 bucks to repair was very sad
i hope its not the same thing

 

Reverse does not have a synchro. There is an idler gear that sits between the mainshaft and countershaft. The reverse shift fork moves the idler gear up and down the reverse idler gear shaft which causes the idler to engage the counter and mainshafts when going into reverse. The reverse gear shift fork is engaged by a pin on the 5th gear shift fork.

So, your problem could come from any of those pieces. I'd guess the reverse shift fork or the 5th gear shift fork could be bent or out of spec.

Hopefully the idler gear is not damaged. If so, it might have damaged the reverse gears on the main or countershafts. The reverse gear on the countershaft is replaceable. On the mainshaft, however, the reverse gear is machined into the mainshaft, and the only way to replace it is to replace the entire mainshaft.

As for using parts from an H23 tranny, look up the part numbers and see if they're the same.

Too bad you're not in north Texas, I'd offer to do the work for a reasonable cost. I've done quite a bit of transmission work on Preludes.

 

thanks get bact to you guys when i experence it first hand

 

OH NO! Another victim of the infamous REVERSE BANDIT!!! Keep your post updated with your results because my lude still does not go into reverse.

 

ok buddy will try
i might even take it apart and take a look first hand

 

my friend has the same problem in his teg.
no grind all of the sudden reverse is gone.

we teared apart the tranny and found out that its because the 5th gear/reverse syncro sleeve is damaged so that the selective gear cannot shift up/down freely that prevent from shifting into revese gear.

hope this would help.

 

thx!
