so i was riding on the freeway, crusin 6th gear for a whilie got off, was slowing down to the stop light off the freeway, couldnt drop it into 1st... or even N , so i left in 2nd, and whilie i was riding tried mashin it down inot 1st, no good. pulled into a parking lot after afew lights of 2nd gear starts... couldnt get it in there, so i kept riding, randomly got it into 1st rode it to my destination. got on it after an hr and a half, and now 1st gear is really shady... and when its in 1st and i push down more, instead of it not going down anyfurther like normal, it has play to it.... please help me out people what is wrong, did i loose a tooth or something????

 

Sounds like a bendt shift fork to me.

 

is this an easy fix.... how could this have happend?

 

Only if you consider spliting the cases and pulling the tranny easy. But if you are loosing / lost 1 gear already that's what your going to have to do anyway. But I would double check everything externerally first - mainly the shift linkage. Who knows you might just get lucky...

Usually it happens becuase of improper shifting (ususally to "soft"), but it is a Honda and they aren't exactly know for having great transmissions.

 

****... looks what i know what im doing in my spare time for a week... i checked the shift linkage when i got home... im going to check it again soon... ****, wut a day.

 

i ordered a new chain at EMA and will be having it put on, do you think having the old chain a lil loose could just casue it to malfunction some how.

 

umm.. no

 

No. Your problem lies somewhere else. It won't shift in at all? If you've checked/adjusted the linkage and it still won't work, you're probably dealing with a fork problem, as stated before.

 

it shifts... threw 2nd-6 fine, but 1 and N is very skecthy and sometimes i cant even get it in 1st or N

 

Have you downloaded the service manual from general tech? If not, do it and see if the 1st/N are on the same fork because that will most likely be your problem if shifting in the other gears is ok.
