Help. Civic is popping out of 5th gear. [solved]
My civic is popping out of 5th gear going up slight hills, and now even on a flat surface. It seems it has gotten worse. I realized it feels like the shift handle isnt going all the way into gear when it is on the ground. However, It goes all the way in gear when I lift the car up with a floor jack and the tire is not on the ground. I am confused. Is it the rear engine mounts fault?

If the engine is moving a lot, potentially. Have someone rev the car and see how much it flexes.
Could also be something like a synchro going. 3rd gear is the more common one but I've seen 5th as well.

inspect the mounts and see if they are broken. Like said above, check it the assembly is moving too much.
Note: the shifter uses cables, not a hard linkage

Its missing the top bolt of the rear t mount and i can't find a replacement. It is longer than the bottom two but every diagram says it is the same size as the bottom one.
