whats up honda-tech i have a sohc zc tranny... just today it started acting up. i dont race or drive stupid but for some reason everytime i shift to 5th gear it'll stay there for a good minute then it'll just pop out again. and it does it constantly! every time its in 5th gear it pops out basically. so what can i do or what causes it to do that? is there anything i can that doesnt result in taking off the tranny unless its needed to? PLEASE HELP!!! PLEASE!! THANKS IN ADVANCE HONDA-TECH!

 

you r low on fluid, which means your tranny is leakin somewhere, just add the correct tranny fluid and it will stay in gear again

 

are you sure? thanks bro! also how do i know how much to put in?

 

no he is wrong, you either have a bent shift fork, or loose/broken motor/tranny mounts, or worn bushings on the shift linkage.
