I just bought a del sol with the stock b16 in it. Everything is ok except for a missing Vss sensor. Also everytime I pop it into fifth gear and drive for about 10-20 seconds it pops out of gear. does anybody know why? could it be that the VSS is missing? please help.

 

Your transmission would not pop out of 5th gear because of a VSS sensor missing.

Syncro is fugged.

 

so is the syncro the only problem it can be? or just the most common reason of the gear poppin out? can it be anything else?

 

Why would a synchro have anything to do with it? That's just for lining everything up and matching the two different speeds of the gears when changing gears.

Sounds to me like it's a bent/almost broken shift fork.

 

A friend's tranny had this issue and it had nothing to do with the shift forks, as they were still in great condition. It's probably the synchro/sleeves.

While I am sure that you're an advocate of that "JDM Knowledge" You are still wrong.

Yep, either that or fucked up dog teeth

Fucked up dog teeth:


I don't feel liek explaining right now


*yawns

 

man this sucks. oh well, should i take it to a shop for them to repair it? or should i just buy another trans? what do you guys think

 

Whoops... I had the wrong terminology. *Blushes*

Bense is correct. 'Dogteeth.' Due to the material they have the ability to round off very easily. I figured the synchro and the dogteeth would be considered of the same. Broken synchro springs do weird **** too.

 

"synchro spring"

 

this is a simple fix. check your tranny fluid i am willing to bet it is low.i found out the hard way when a b series tranny is low on fluid it will pop out of fifth.

 

ok i will check the fluid... i just bought the car and found out that the vss was missing. i replaced the vss right away but didnt add trans fluid. probably when i drove it home some of the trans fluid left the tranny thus causing fifth to pop out. im going to check now

dog teeth was what i was thinking of, but i didnt know the proper terminolgy thanks. Next time come up with something original if your gonna insult me.

 

filled the tranny with fluid... fifth works now!!! thanks for the help

 

holy crap! i wish i had thought to check the oil before i destroyed my first b16 tranny. but then again it might not have been oil. cause it had no serial#
