the car goes in every other gear except reverse. everytime i try to put it into reverse it hits a wall and it just wont go back. any suggestions on what could be the problem??? thanks

 

Preludes have a shift block that prevents you from entering reverse while moving with any sort of relevant speed, but if you are parked and it doesn't work, give it the good old fashion wiggle then drop it into fourth then try reverse, works for me when reverse is acting up in my lude.

 

tried that. there is just no way to put it into reverse. any other suggestions before i take the tranny off?

 

Sounds to me like you might have lost reverse, preludes are known for randomly losing reverse

 

if i lost it, it would go in there and not go backwards at all

 

For some it means that it will go in but never move, and others it just means you can't get in to go in at all, yours doesn't go in at all, right? If it doesn't go in at all it could be messed up synchros or shift fork

 

thankss

 

i had the same problem back in january.

diagnosis: bent shift fork.

ihad the honda care plan on my lude so when honda went to replace the shift for they threw in new gears bearings sleeve set synchros etc.

but it is a shift fork algnment problem. usually a bent shift fork.

when mine acted up i just sat in my car going from gear to gear like 4th to reverse etc. try going from 1st to reverse alot. you just might be able to re align the shift fork.

but honestly that is a big PITA. damn h series trannies are worthless. if you go to get it fixed i would just by an h to b kit and b series tranny. way better off.

hope this helps.

 

Hey did u take the tranny off yet? Im having trouble with my homies 97 lude sh. Manual. The motor is out the car and the driver side axle is stuck in the tranny for some odd reason, and will not come out. Any ideas?

 

in the morning me and a friend are gonna take it off. probably take pictures but anyways thanks alot guys

 

Hey the h2d kit is great. h22trannys suck

 

How do you put the axel back in the boot it poped out of it and cant get it to in it in the boot before the halfshaft.
