ok So i have a 2000 prelude sh! I tried to drive it today,while taking off in 1st gear it sputtered as if it was in 2nd gear then when i tried to shift into 2nd gear it didnt want to go in as if it was something was jammed in there not letting it in! i crashed and broke my axle while i was driving in 2nd gear so mayb from the crash my transmission is stuck in 2nd gear!!!!!? any help

i'm not a mechanic, but maybe the the internals of the transmission need looked at. could this be a possible bent fork? or maybe just bad gear. will the trans go n2 any other gear?

Slow down, junior... Now when did you wreck the car?

yeah i was thinking forks. depending on how bad he wrecked it could have broke something inside when it happened. my mom had a 5G that got wrecked, they had to do trans work and it didn't drive right after they worked on it so we got rid of it. but hers was an auto. lol

You are right just went to the tranny shop and they said they dont think its my tranny! They just drove it aroud though!!!!! Mechanic said its a shifter linkage problem!!!!!? anybody know how to adjust/fix the shifter linkage!!!

as far as how bad i wrecked it i have NO BODY DAMAGE just broke the axle,lower control arm,and hub and spindle, and outer tie rod! just crashed the driver side wheel only!

the two shift linkage is attached to the two arms that allows to to shift from 1,3,5 and 2,4,R, try having a friend shift the car off/on between gears and see what happens with those arms....

either that or the slave cylinder, i got stuck in 1st gear on my way home one time slave needed some clean up and bleeded the line to build pressure then i was fine

does any one! have a picture of the shift linkage mount to the tranny? i need one i think mine is broken becuase its giving one line to one of the arms to much free play possibly causing my problem! plz somone post a pic plz! the mount on the tranny to the shift linkage!

its the mount that holds the two cables that go the the shifter arms.

plz some one post the pic, eeven post it mounted in your car plz need to know if mines broke!

Hard enough to break an axle that had some force behind it. Plus now you'll probably find out later that it affected more than you thought. Like radius rods, struts, bent or cracked wheel. Think I would rather have the body damage, a fender is not crap to replace especially if you find one the same color.

All fixed everything is fine just needed the new plate that locks in the cable to mount on one of the sifter arms! Perfect shifting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but i could understand all the other stuff could happen if i would have hit harder but it didnt thanks for all the help!

glad u got it fixed. try to keep it in one piece. :-P lol
