Care to elaborate?

BTW: one of my friends had the same problem with it popping out of gear, it was a bent shift fork.

probably the same problem here. can you rev match and get 5th gear to engage? if so you could have a bad synchro

When I said it was the tranny, that's what my neighbor who's the civic guy said. He's not around today so I can't have him elaborate. He is somewhat knowledgable on this since he's had several civics and he's just replaced a clutch in one.

I have a '91 nissan stanza for a commuter car that has a tranny leak that I need some help on. I've posted on the staza page with, but not much activity there.I've got a auto-tranny leak that happened all of a sudden, no warning. I've found the exact spot where the leak is but I'm not sure what is involved in the fix. I have a Chilton manual, but it doesn't tell me what the part is. It is a round cylinder shape facing the radiator right in between where the cooling lines come out the bottom and a pan that is at the top. 1st - what the heck is that, and 2nd does it come out some how?

well i dunno what it is sometimes it won't even go into 5th and when i do get it in its barely in so then it pops out after i let off gas too oh and like lets say its at a low rpm like 2k and i floor it in 5th and 4th sometimes 3rd it slips and just revs up thats why i think its the clutch and not my tranny

good luck, my neighbor had loads of fun replacing his clutch...
by the way, his civic looks pretty much like yours.

yeah im gonna get my friend to help me since he has the tranny stand and all the tools so it shouldn't take more than a few hours
