one simple question and no one attempts to answer man *bump* one more time for tonight

 

A missing roll pin is a very bad thing. If the pin is missing, you won't be able to engage into any gear. The shifter would just flop around.

 

the shifter bushings could be shot.
polyurethane bushings are like $20, and vastly improve shift feel, even with a stock shifter.
or your trans. could be shot...like broken/worn shift forks or something.

 

it goes in gear some time and a couple of days ago i looked at the torqe bar and where it cups around the shifter there is some hitting goin on from the bottom of the shifter. and a gouge out of the side of the shifter. it seems like its hitting somethin. no grinding is goin on. changed the oil and put some lucas in it. banged on the linkage a little and it shifted great for like 2 weeks (lke butter) and now started goin bad any other ideas

 

one more what would the bushing look like when shot they look fine to me but that aint really my specialty.

 

Dried or torn up.

 

when my bitch pin (roll pin) had just 1mm of play or less to each side i started in third gear. it would feel like i was putting it in first but the play in the linkage allowed it to move and the place it connnected onto the tranny wasnt turning enough to get it into first.

replace the pin if theres any play in it (go to honda). replace your bushings if the problem persists. if those thing dont work, your linkage COULD be bent/damaged. maybe check out your clutch? do some adjustments? if its not going into gear thats a sign of clutch failure. just a thought.

HTH

 

thanks man so the roll pin could be worn ill go get that first and then when i replace the shifter with a short throw ill get the bushings the the pin would make the shifter move also when is in gear side to side.... my shifter ahs so much play in it that i have to pull it all the wat towards me to try to get it in second.. but alot more info would be great thanks

lift car, place jack stands, tighten all the nuts and bolts coming from the shifter.

Don't know what kind of car you have, but I'll guess maybe a crx and the hatch is probably similar, and not being able to see it, but it sounds more like something is loose and/or your bushings are shot. Having to pull your shifter all the way towards you doesn't sound like the roll pin...it connects the other end of your shift linkage to the transmission.

 

cool a double post some how. lol

 

bump one last time

 

Tighten bolts #26 and #30.

 

i have this exact same problem too, i just did a swap and the linkage is brand new so i know it's not that....the problem was that the linkage i bought from AZ race and machine didn't have a big enough hole for the bitch pin so the bolt we put through it is the right size for the linkage but too small for the hole on the transmission that the linkage connects to

 

iaght so i went to lowes and bought a 3/8 x2 in roll pin gonna cut it down and c if that fixes it. i looked at the pin and where the pin is at the linkage most of it is broken so i hope that htis dollar piece fixes it no money to really fix anything else so any more inof would be great thanks

 

did the new roll pin fix it?

 

the pin was to big so i just stuck a bolt in there right now and it works great but a stilla little play in it but it hell of alot better than b4 i know have 2nd gear.. but nebody heard of it being bad of putting a bolt inplcae of the roll pin
thanslks

 

How much could a roll pin from Honda cost?
You know, fixing things right instead of ghetto and sketch.
