hey guys, i just encountered a really wierd problem today.

i cant get into 5th gear....and when i cant get into 5th it somehow unsyncs all my gears so i cant get into any of them.

when this happens i have to press the clutch a billion times for it to resync.

has this happened to any of you guys before?

this problem has never happened to me before.....

anyone know a fix?

 

Does it pop out of 5th too when you get it in? I've seen this happen alot when a trans is completely dry (out of fluid)

 

yes, it does actually...

so you think im low on fluid?

 

No your not low you have no fluid in your trans, check for leaking axle seals. and put some fluid in that thing before you kill your bearings.

 

ok....also on my tranny...there doesnt seem to be a dipstick anywhere, wtf?

well im going to buy tranny fluid right now...where do i pour it in....by that i mean which hole?

 

There is no dipstick on honda manual trans. correct way to fill is to take out 17 mm bolt on the pass side just above the pass axle, get a funnel with a rubber hose on the end or something so you can put it in the fill hole and fill till the fluid starts to drip out of the fill hole. Usually a B-series takes about 2 1/4 quarts and a d series takes about 2 quarts.

 

ok thanks

 

The "ghetto" way is to take out the speed sensor (one 10 mm bolt) and fill in from that hole which its better to do that than not have any fluid in your trans. Alot of people find this method easier but you can overfill your trans this way too.

 

yeah, it solved the problem...i had about a quarter of a quart of fluid in there....dont know how it got that way, must have been a slow leak or something.

well thanks lots man.
