Default Slipping out of 5th

Wow now I have another thing to add to my long list of shit going wrong. I just had a new clutch put in less than a month ago with my rebuilt motor and now the car is slipping out of 5th. I can shift into 5th with no problem and I'll be cruising along for 2-4 miles and for no reason it slips out of 5th and into neutral. Is this a bad alignment on the clutch/pressureplate/flywheel or what?

sounds like bad engine mounts to me, or a bad tranny. those are the only two options. imo.

well i would recommend spending 30 dollars on some es engine torque mounts if there is a possibility of it being bad mounts....if not look into a rebuild. neal does it pretty cheap.


that may be where i am heading as something is wrong with my clutch / tranny

if none of your gears are griding then your really low on MTF..

get some honda MTF in there and see if that solves your problem

check for a leak somewhere also, around the axle seal most likely
