so the girl comes home complaining that the GSR is popping out of 5th when she hits bumps… I haven’t taken it for a spin yet… but what could this be? tranny problem, clutch related or more like bushing?
I think its the stock clutch with 121k
96 Acura Integra GSR 4 door 5 speed
Yeah, probably low on fluid.
ok Im a honda noob wheres the spot to check?
back of the trans, its like a 17mm stubby bolt, pull it out and stick your finger in, you suppose to fill the trans until it starts to leak out that hole, so you should feel fluid.
Not sure if this applies to hondas too, but its something to think about.
My talon used to pop out of 5th gear. It popped out by itself like 10 times until 5th gear finally exploded and blew its way out of the end case on the trans. I researched it, and was told that the 5th gear nut that holds the gear in place became loose. An easy way to tell, is to keep your car in a gear like 3rd of 4th, hit the gas, and if the shifter moves forward and backwards without touching it, then the gear sets need to be re-torqued.
So every now and then, i pull the end case off the trans, and retorque 5th gear with the trans still in the car. 
sure enough, low on fluid… now its Sunday where can I get fluid, what do i use or any one got some layin around?
call me…and yes I have some laying around. 316-8454
