Sup guys,

I've had my hybrid H22- EG for awhile now and its been out of commision for 3 years. I want to revive it, but the tranny is messed up. I can't shift in 1-3-5th gears. Anyone know what the problem can be. I know its inside the tranny becuase I can't manually push/pull on the tranny shifter from the eng. compartment. It'll go into 2-4-R without a problem. Thanks.

 

Dose it have tranny fluid in it? have u tried different kinds of fluids? Its hydro right?

 

Yeah, its hydro and has fluid in it. When I last drove it, it was on the fwy, everything was fine and then it kicked out of 3rd and that was it. I limped home in 2nd ann 4th gear. Since then, the car's been sitting in the garage. Now that I'm getting around to fixing it. I gotta resolve this prob. Thanks.

 

How many miles does the tranny have?

 

Does it grind when you try and put it in gear, or does it feel like it is just hitting a wall?

 

Shift Fork could be bent

 

Your shift linkage or fork should be loose. These are the easy fix-it. My shift linkage bolts fell out and it had trouble going in the 3rd 5th gears. Worst case could be inside your tranny......

edit...didnt see it was a h22.
I think your tranny is gone...SAME EXACT THING HAPPEN to my friend two months ago...i dont know whats it is called but if you look where the shift cable connects to on the tranny, that little external "box" is what is wrong. It doesnt click over for the tranny to go in the other gears...my friend used parts from a blown tranny to fix his...

You can actually move it with you hands and see that one of the levers does move the other lever to those needed gears..

 

Its like shifting into a brick wall. It will not go in 1-3-5th. Since its shift linkage, I can tell that the cables will bend, but the gears won't go in.

Yeah, on top of the tranny, there are two levers, one is moved to select the gear and the other one actually puts it in gear. The second on is the one that is stuck and won't go into gear. thanks for the help.

 

exactly, dont kno what you can do except drop the tranny....sorry man

 

there might be something in the way of it, after my swap i couldn't shift into 5th, because the shift linkage was hittiing the exhaust flange on the cat, try checking that, just a suggestion...

 

Shift cables or shifter assembly.

Bent shift fork - highly doubtful.

 

had a similar problem in my cousins h22 accord. car didnt want to go in 2nd or 4th gear. shifter also had a lot of play in it. swapped out the cables for a different set and it fixed the problem. i think the cables may have streched(sp?) . but i dont know

 

I had the same problem...it might be the syncros....because with my car it just would either get stuck in reverse or it wouldnt go in reverse at all. It happend to me twice. One time when I drove the car 1 hour away then dyno it and than an other hour getting back. I raced it when I came back too and smashed 3rd gear. My conclusion is that #1 my tranny was too hot and over used that day and #2 somehow 3rd 5th and reverse are connected ..i think...??

Well aways the second time it happend to me was when I was at the track I grinded and smashed 3rd gear agean...(and also missed)..... the same thing happend with reverse. Also, I ran my car like 5 times before I screwed up the tranny that day.

My suggestion to you is to try to play with the car and put it in gear. Also, try to rock the car back and forth to see if you could get some play into the gear. thats what i did. But one of my friends said that it might be something to do with the the ??rings (cant remember the name) they get jambed up sometimes... good luck

 

I have a 2002 Honda Civic EX 2 Door Coupe VTEC 5 Speed Manual ( two cables ) plastic shifter? it was fine driving on my way to (redacted) and my car was fine? i left and was also fine till i got to the highway and i went to hit 3rd and my engine (D17A2) just revved out like i wasn't in gear? but after re trying (and takes 2-3 times) to get the trans in gears 1, 3 , & 5 but 3 & 5 are the worst??? i have no idea if oil is in trans ( all my older DA9 Integra's with YS1 5 Speed and B16/B18A1/B1 JDM B18B and B20s all used engine oil 10w40 (as was the Honda oil i always got for those? i do not know if these are the same or not.. the car was basically free from a friend ( and nother issue (REDACED), has a windshield leak, worn/leaky (bypassed) heater core/ screwed cooling system (no thermostat lol) (fixed somewhat) i cant really work on cars anymore, and doing anything is a pain (back knees shoulder arms Neck , everything) and have no help or money to have shop fix it.(disabled and on SSI) (Mental Issues). i need car to go to a facility everyday for (redacted) treatment ! and i have to drive about 15 minutes (to and back each ) so about 20-40 minutes travel time... every day and that all i drive the car..


1st will work if i carefully put it in gear, but 3rd and 5th seem way too (soft) so to speak and doesn't seem to have the (Smoothly Clicked in) feeling it once had jus yesterday morning? only started on my way back home after i got on the high way and going into 3rd . it didn't feel right ( clutch is fine) clutch is not slipping.... if trans is gone im just gonna buy a new one in better shape and part this one out for spare parts and rebuild this engine ( maybe trans if its rebuildable but i dunno) im hoping its just the shifter assembly or the cables / bushings or something like that! ???? ...i need to drive the car tomorrow and have no other car to drive!!!


the rans still will go into gear but it doesn't feel right...age of trans oil is unknown... and i have new (front) new knuckles/bearings (wheel) ( bad bearings idk ) but the new axles & front lower control arms were never put on cuz i just cant do it anymore ( i used to be on oxycodone ( hence redacted above) and once i got on methadone treatment ( cuz i couldn't take it anymore) but now i just cant do anything anymore du do gaining over 100 pounds (on methadone) with in the first year ( i had a del Sol VTEC at that time ( B16A3 VTEC) ( miss that car) ... im fat and live on a steep hill with a garage that is just way too small for this 2002 Civic ( no room to work ) and pain limits my ability!
