my tranny is impossible to shift when driving

sometimes i have to stop and shut the car off to get it in gear

it just doesnt want to go in

once in gear it stays in but somtimes i cant even get it in the gear


when the car is off it shifts fine

anyone have any ideas or suggestions

 

Clutch cable is too loose, your clutch is always engaged thus not letting you shift. Try tightening your cable, otherwise you've got internal problems, throw-out bearing, pressure plate etc.

 

clutch works fine

when i can get it into gear and i clutch it operates fine its just the actual moving from gear to gear that is REALLY tough

i have to use 2 hands somtimes

 

Those were symptons I had when my differential cracked and bit into the axel ring clip. My tranny ended up taking a dump on me at 50 mph. Does your shifter ever start to knock like it someone is hitting it with a hammer, that was my second symptom before it blew apart. I would try first checking to make sure your tranny fluid level is good or maybe replace it with some Honda MTF you can get from any Honda/Acura Dealer. Could be simple, could be major, be careful when trying to jam it into gear cause it might lock up on you without warning. - Darrell

 

how about a bent or broke shift fork

will that cause these symptoms

 

bump

Good to hear.

 

Glad it was something simple. When I had that problem it ended up being the PP.
