alright guys i was driving on i-75 suddenly my 5th gear is out i try slow down put back in gear wont work my 5th gear is like neutral now 1 and 2 are not much better in first when i take off the whole car shakes.i think it broke because i had to hold it in 5th gear because it kept poppin back in neutral.so im holding it and out of nowhere it doesnt work i kept trying it wont work at all it was smelling real bad.i wanted to know what the problem could be. i have a h22a motor with a h22a transmission.

 

hmm, you can still shift into all the gears but 5th slips? Sounds like you got internal tranny problems. Is there any fluid leaking from the drain hole in your tranny (bottom of bellhousing)?

 

either you were low on fulid or i bet somebody put 90w oil when they replaced your transm fluid ,,,

Sounds like you burned your clutch, and your clutch was slipping. How long do you have your clutch?

 

well i got a motor swap about a month ago the first time i got the car back 5th gear wasnt working right it always slips back in neutral now it will stay in 5th gear but no pull at all its like in neutral when im in 5th gear i dont understand and how much could it cost me to fix.

 

i dont think my clutch is burned but im not sure all other gears work decent all of them catch good but only 5th gear doesnt at all.

Going in 4th gear, floor your car all the way. If you see the rpm goes up but the car doesn't move then your clutch is bad. Labor for changing the clutch is about $350-$500 depends where you go.

 

5th gear is the furthest to where the oil resides it gets lubricated by tubes to get oil up there now if you were low on fluid or had 90w oil in tranny it cannot lubricate 5th gear thus it will overheat and burn and wear down . once worn it cannot mash with the other gear on the countershaft so it feel like you are in neutral ,,,,, i have seen it many times because people put 90w oil in tranny did someone replace tranny fluid recently??? was trany leaking before??5th gear sit way at the top you dont have to pull tranny out to replace just pull out rear case and you have good access to it

 

I always stick with Honda MTF.

 

i tried that i put it in 4th floored it the car moves clutch is not slipping at all clutch is perfect.
