Does anyone know what this could be? My car is only popping out of 5th gear, could it be my synchros?

Sounds like you have syncro problems.
You will need to open the tranny and see

Enjoy your stay </TD></TR></TABLE>

 

I was hoping that it wasn't the synchros...do you think it could be the bushings in the linkage?

 

The best noises are yet to come.

 

GrlRcr4, did you buy Scotty's old Type-R? The 01 with 24k? I so wanted to buy it.

I've been keeping count of all the ITRs on the Big Island. For a small population, there are a lot. I see an ITR almost everyday.

 

tranny problems synchros more then likely

 

Mine had the same problem....here's how I fixed it

 

Have you tried flushing your tranny fluid? Fifth gear is the highest on the set inside the housing, so it is the first to be 'dry' when low on MTF.

I agree, try it, didn't work for me but worth a shot.

 

Blue Integra Boy: No I didn't buy scotty's TypeR...I ordered mine about 6 months ago from HMO.

Thanks for the advice...I will try flushing the tranny fluid.

 

Try changing the fluid and making sure the car is level when you add fluid.

 

Mine was popping out of fifth for a while, thought was synchros but i just need fluid

 

try synchromesh or open up the tranny.

 

my 5th gear synchro went out on me...it never poped out tho...just grinded going into gear at like anything over 2.5 to 3k rpms. you running a short shifter?

Oh I thought you bought a Type-R. What car is the B18C in? A Civic?

 

BlueIntegraBoy...I do have a TypeR in my civic...why do u know which car is mine?

Erik B....I have the stock shifter

I am going to flush out the fluid in a day or so....when I have a brake from work. (I am praying that is the problem). Thanx!!

 

I wouldn't jump to conclusions on synchros. I would check out the detent ball springs. They are probably pretty cheap and you can easily change them without dropping the trans out of the car.

 

could also possibly be a tweaked shift fork.

 

1st step would be to top off the tranny fluid

 

Okay...well I found out I have a slow leak somewhere....We drained the tranny fluid and there wasn't very much fluid in there...I used the synchromesh and it hasn't done it since! Now I just need to fix the leak. Thanx for all the advise!

 

Its great when the easiest/cheapest solution is the right one

 

 

on a quick fix, check ur axle seals for the slow leak yo
