Tranny Problem--no 5th gear or reverse

anyone with a 7th gen have a problem with the 5th gear popping out?
pretty much when i shift to 5th, it will only stay in for a few minutes then pop out, after about half hour of driving, it will pop out frequently, as short as 30 seconds, i pretty much gotta hold it in if i wanna drive in 5th, pretty ****kin annoying, and i dont wanna go str8 to a tranny shop not knowing anything about it and get ripped off, just wondering if anyone knows what i could be

could be Honda's fault. Take it to them and make them fix it for free.

What a stupid comment, how are you going to make a company fix something for free. "Excuse me Mr. Major Company, I want this fixed for free ok...oh my reason? Because I want it for free."

How long after the BJ fell out did the issue happen? Was it right away(ie: day you fixed it) or was it a few days after?

Re: 5th gear problem

LOL! nicely said
and it was so long ago, almost a year if not a year.
but it wasnt right away, i think a couple weeks after

and actually right now, it wont go in reverse and will not stay in 5th at all. and it makes noises when the clutch is engaged

i been reading that "diagnosing tranny problems" thread, im only on page 5, and i realized the input shaft berring must be hooped. but would this also cause the gear problems or is there some kind of adjustment, because it only started making noises yesturday
i figured maybe there was some way to adjust something seeing as the right gears are ****ed (5th n reverse)...til i started reading that thread, now im not sure

(also my cars been parked for like 3 months now, just had a 3 day permit on it 2 weeks ago, and a 1 day permit yesturday)

Have you checked the shifter linkage? Remove the centre console and check to see if anything is binding or catching the cables or shifter.

Re: Tranny Problem--no 5th gear or reverse

hold on ur the third owner of the car right if u are did u get the car this way? for the revers problem i think i might know what it is theres a peice up at the top of the case which if its not seated properly it can cause it to not go in reverse the fifth gear problem might be a shreaded gear maybe im not shure but im shure if its what i think it might be that peice broken because thats what happened to our car it broke and we couldent get into reverse
