93 vtec, i notice my clutch was getting rough gettin into gear, next thing i know couple days later it wouldnt get in reverse then i popped the hood and check if there's any visual problems..there's goe it!!

The two top main 17mm bolts that holds the tranny onto the engine block was loose and came about half way out. Even i can pull it right out the tranny. i thought if i tighten it back in i would get my reverse back but no. It only solves the clutch gettin into gear smoother but my reverse gear is gone. What actually happened?? Hopefully there's someone who had same experience also..or is it just me..

 

mayb you bent a shift fork, at least that's what happened to mine

 

Bented a shift fork?? So did you ever fix that problem?? IF so, what did you do

 

just replace the shift fork and TO bearing....

 

So i'm gonna have to take apart of the tranny?? Give me a brief explanation how to replace this if you can becuz i dont wanna mess it up.

 

how the hell do so many people bend shift forks i mean those things aint really all that flimsy its a pretty thick peice of metal and to top it off how do you bend them with a cable shifter i would think the cable would stretch and break before you bent that thick shift fork in my short time off tranny rebuilds i noticed on many differenyt h22 trannys the syncros are still in pretty good shape but the syncro hub and syncro selector (slider) are usually damaged causing you not to be able to switch into different gears (it gets kind of like a burr on the hub and the slider dont slide to smoothly any more cause it gets hung up on the burr)

 

So is there any ways it can be fix or i need to rebuilt the tranny or maybe get a used tranny, whats your advice..should spend more or there's a better way i can saves by which way it can be done??
