Well driving to work yesterday I had the cruise on, and I’m just moving along and all of a sudden the engine revs freely! I tap the brakes to take off the cruise and I grab the shifter and it is no longer in gear?! So I put it back in gear and continue on my way and it does it about 2 more times wile I’m on the highway. It did the same thing last night on the way home and this morning as well.
The biggest issue that I’m going to have is finding replacement parts for this tranny. I know that 1-3th gears are the same as the USDM 4th gen. h22 tranny. No problem there. But 4th and 5th gear is different for them at a ratio of 4th 1.034 (same as 5th gen. h22 tranny) and 5th is .787
Now it think that I can get all the Syncros except the 5th gear. Now I have done some digging and I found that the GSR tranny has a ratio of .787. I wonder if this would work? I would be willing to bet that it would.... But then again I have never taken one apart. The only thing that I can foresee is that they shaft bore on the syncros are different.
Now on to the shift forks. Now I would think that I would just need shift forks for a 4th gen. and I would be set?
And does anyone know if I can just order the syncros? And not the whole gearsets?

Any help would be appreacheted!

 

First check your shift linkage before you start tearing down your tranny.

 

Yea i will do that... The tranny NEEDS to be serviced anyway. But if i can get 4-6 more months out of it... That would be great....

yah i too think that my linkage is f'ed because if im driving at a constant speed in second gear it sometimes pops out of gear. doesnt bouther me too much...

Does it have oil in it? My moms car kept poping out of gear, and it turned out to not have any oil in it...

 

Well i surely hope so.... I put 2 quarts of Syncromesh in when i changed the CV joint 2 weeks ago. Its is shifting fine in the other 5 gears?!
