So....

I got my swap done. sold the ls vtech and had an all motor b18a1 built. Doing a swap into an 89 hf crx sucked but now that its done I'm very pleased. Only issue I have is 5th gear pops out. I can hold it in place and feel it as it trys to kick it. Let off gass, feel it re seat keep rolling.

I went the route of using a 91 integra linkage and had to shorten it. Any suggestions on common causes of kicking out of gear? Will buying the hasport linkage get rid of my problem or will new orings and bushings take care of it?


Thanks for all the help

 

Rebuilding tranny or buy another one will solve the problem

 

Due to the age of most of these transmissions. You are looking at a rebuild.

 

Thanks for the responses fellas. Put the car up on Jacks and checked the fluid. It never got changed when they did my swap and only had a qt of straight black tar in it. Drained and put in new fluid and it shifts like a dream and 5th gear no longer pops out.

Lucky to say the least. Now to address a couple codes lol
