Rep Power: 0 manual transmission help!!!
I have a 97 civic with a d16y8 and p20 trans. The problem is I'm either stuck in 4th or 5th. As soon as i havecompletely left of the clutch the rpms drop and the engine dies. The weird thing I can some times shift into every gear with the car off but its a bitch to get into or out of reverse and when I does the shifter will lock up. Wiggle it a little bit and it pops free. Or it will go into 3 out of 6 geats or none at all. No matter what gear I put it in and try to drive it stays in the same gear and the car dies. I've already check the fluid no shavings or smelled burnt. I cracked the case open ( didnt fully open) everything looked good. I'm a noob when it comes to transmissions. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what they did to fix it. Thank you

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: manual transmission help!!!
Can you push the car:
Will it roll in neutral?
With the clutch pedal pushed down, will it still roll in every gear?
Jack it up, wheels off the ground: which gears work, which don't?

No the car will not move in neutral I have to depress the clutch. With the car jacked up I can go through all the gears

Wheels in the air, shifter in neutral: Start the engine and let the clutch out. What gear is it stuck in?
If it is stuck in a gear and can't let go, I bet you will be pulling that trans out.

With the car in the air I couldn't tell you what gear its in. I'm starting to think something is locked up. Even with the car in the air i release the clutch the rpms drop and then the engine dies.
