i searched and couldn't find anything helpful, but basically when i turn medium to hard right moving or a light in first or second gear the car will jerk and rev like i put it in nuetral. I was just backing out of a parking space and went to turn right and it didnt feel like it was fully engaged. I have no idea its doing weird stuff only when i turn right other than that its fine. any ideas?

 

Your title needs to say more than i need help. The more details the better. Does the shifter pop out of gear?

 

Exactly. Title edited. OP please read the stickies at the top.

What car?

 

no the shifter doesnt actually pop out of gear but ill gas it a little itll kinda jerk and itll rev like its in neutral and i look like a retard who can drive a car its happened like 4 times in the past couple of days and it only does it when i turn right wtf it seems like its getting worse. idk if this matters but to fix it ill push in the clutch go into 2nd and straighten out the car and keep driving ive had this happen pretty much at stop lights turning or downshifting to 2nd taking a right corner a little hard.

 

thanks for fixing the title

its a 98 civic hatchback manual with a b20 swap, i think b20 block ls head not sure what tranny

 

Could be your tranny is going out, could be a clutch or pressure plate problem. Shift linkage could be bent also. My car slips out of gear in third gear sometimes cause the synchros are trashed.

 

Sounds like an axle is popping out of the differential. Does the speedo register higher speeds when the engine revs?

 

anyway to check these without having to pull the engine?

could it be an axle?

 

im honestly not sure i try to correct it as soon as possible because its embarrassing i only noticed the revs

 

Watch the speedometer the next time it happens/revs.

 

See i was thinking it could be an axle as well but with it revving up even if the axle pop out unless it was a problem with the halfshaft i would think it would still move even without an lsd tranny. Therefore the rpms shouldn't jump like its hitting nuetral. Am i wrong?

 

Only one axle needs to pop out of the differential of a standard tranny (and possibly an LSD tranny?) to prevent the car from moving.

 

yeah idk i talked to friends about it, they fix a bunch of cars not really hondas but they are telling me that if its an axle problem either it will clunk or break they are thinking its a tranny problem which sounds weird because it only happens when i turn so idk wtf and i cant really look at the car because im at work for another 5 hours

 

Simple. When the car will only rev in gear, check the speedometer and the gap between the axles and the differential.

 

what will the speedometer do? and if it turns out to be doing what shitty axles do should i just replace both of them, like go to autozone? and because i have a b20 swap if i need axles are certain ones better, like the gsr or civic si?

 

How do u check synchros. When i shift to 3rd every single time it always pops out out gear.

 

If it's popping out of gear, it's a synchro problem. If it's remaining in gear and revving, it's most likely an axle problem.

alright so me and my friend got the car jacked up and both axles aren't the best like when i brake a little hard at a light i hear a pop/clunk noise sometimes which im guessing is the axle. well my friend dug deeper and discovered that one of the bolts holding the tranny to the block unscrewed and feel out perfectly on the tranny mount and two others stripped the threads im guessing do to the mad vibration so we got all the bolts tight except the two and the car is driving better.

can i tap the two stripped ones and put in slighty bigger bolts has anyone had to do that? or any help would be awesome
