Just swapped a 97 D16Y8 engine along with a 94 D16Z6 tranny into my 93 Civic CX. It drove great with no problems for 50 miles. Then all the **** happened, i was getting off the freeway and downshifted for 5th to 4th doing about 50mph, all of a sudden it popped out of gear. i put it into 3rd, no go! pulled over and took a look under the hood, went though all the gears. Everything seemed fine. Started it up and went to drive home, woundnt go into 1st, 3rd, 4th or 5th. only went to 2nd. anyways, it pops out of every gear and basically my car wont go anywhere? What could be wrong? Anything i can look for? Is my tranny blown? need some help here! thanks

Does your clutch go to the floor and stick there? It could be you need to bleed your system. Check to see if you have enough fluid in the resevoir. If there isn't enough fluid the clutch won't operate and won't go into gear with the car on. This is just a suggestion.

 

the clutch moves just fine. It doesnt stick at all. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

exploded shifter fork and/or bad mainshaft bearing.

 

First try the smallest thing possible:

Shift linkage boot.

Sometimes the boot bunches up and prevents the selction of gears. Try that first, then if it's in correctly and the car still won't go into gear, then think about saving money for a new tranny.

 

if the need arises, i got a d16z6 tranny for 150 shipped. It was working perfectaly when it was removed. gtg997a@prism.gatech.edu
