Reputable Honda transmission shop/mechanic?

[dsrtuckteezy]

I need a 1998 honda civic ex 5 spd transmission looked at.

shifter will not move to the right in neutral as of yesterday, allowing me no access to 5th gear or reverse.

Looking for a straight shooting shop, no bullshit.

Thanks

where u located?

[dsrtuckteezy]

red oak, 25 min south of dallas. i dont mind driving though.

[dsrtuckteezy]

ttt. any transmission shop will be fine, doesnt need to be honda specific

probably cheaper to source a tranny from a junkyard.

This.

D-series transmissions are cheap.

Hondo works in balch springs might be able to give you some info over the phone.

[dsrtuckteezy]

thanks teeshock, ill give them a call.

It's a honda. Drive it off a cliff

Will it not move or won't engage? Could be just a cable and not a trans. I work at Christian brothers in cedar hill if u want us to look at it.

[dsrtuckteezy]

the shifter will not move over to the right in neutral. thus i cant even try to put it in 5th or reverse.

the guy i talked to at hondo works suggested that i probably didnt put enough fluid back in the trans when i changed it 1000-1500 miles ago, or i used too thick a fluid. he thinks i ran 5th gear dry and might need a rebuild. mind you, this was just his opinion over the phone.

well, i used standard pennzoil synchromesh mtf, and i filled the trans until fluid poured out of the fill hole and leveled off, so...

super cubano- where are yall located in ch, and when is a good time to bring it by? you are much closer to me than balch springs.

edit: not cable operated, it's hydraulic. i crawled under the car and looked at the linkage, and nothing looked visibly damaged, but who knows

[RCITNet]

did you check the linkage? Some times they get too much play and the linkage will get bent and prevent you from shifting.
