Would be great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 3 gears, pops out....is there any reason you're not considering getting another transmission? used trans are cheap, other alternatives aren't worth it typically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97ej22 Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Well the gears are in the tranny they just don't work all I need is to do my bushings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97ej22 Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 I just checked the tranny fulid and its fine so I'm at a loss for the poping out of gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Popping out of gear because it's either damaged or it isn't being fully engaged. Worn shift bushings might cause this. It could also be caused by worn a transmission mount and pitch stopper (dogbone) mount causing the trans to flop all over the place when you try to accelerate. Get new linkage bushings first, and inspect the trans mount bushings. If the problem persists you need a rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97ej22 Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Ok well its good to know that I could be something really easy...but I still haven't done the bushings because there is a lot in the way and hard to get my hand in there let alone a wrench...I really hope its not a rebulid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I remember your post from a month or two ago, revving the engine and dropping the clutch will cause those symptoms, which is ironically the exact same thing we told you back then. Get a new tranny and learn how to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steves72 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Simply stated, the components used when the car was constructed are designed around the typical use by a typical user. The vehicle you are driving was probably designed for transportation. Transmissions that go behind a race engine will take a significant amount of abuse before failure but they do fail. What you are driving is a low powered vehicle. It will not take abuse very long before it begins to not operate properly. Furthermore, the car probably has a significant number of miles on the parts. You cannot expect parts with a lot of miles on it to take that kind of abuse. If you want to drive it like its stolen, plan on replacing drive line components frequently.
