my b16 tranny has had some problems lately with popping out of third and fifth gear. todayi was driving on the freeway and was cruising in fifth gear. i let off the gas to slow down a bit and then gave it some gas to get back up to speed when suddenly my tranny fell out of fifth. i pushed the clutch in to gear the car back into fifth gear, but when i did, my rpm's went down to idle while i was IN FIFTH with the clutch out.

i pushed the clutch back in to put in in fourth because i knew my fifth might have been fucked. when i did that, my engine was still at idle. i was thinking to myself what the hell could be going on, so i put it into EVERY GEAR without the clutch in.

i know this is something serious, but i have no idea what it could be. i can move my shift know all the way around in a circle and it feels like it is in nuetral even when i push the **** up (first,third, fifth) or down (second, fourth, reverse). is this a shift linkage problem or did my tranny take a ****?

im taking it apart tomorrow to see what happened but i thought maybe someone might give me some insight.

 

Sounds like shift linkage.
