M/T - Stuck In Two Gears

Accord M/T
Stuck in Two Gears

If a '90-92 Accord comes in with a bound-up M/T, the trans may be stuck in two gears. If this is the case, it's a safe bet that someone has been forcefully shifting the trans and bent the interlock. Luckily, the interlock can be inspected and replaced without removing the trans.





Remove the interlock as described in the M/T section of the S/M, then measure the width of the interlock guide channel. The channel width should be 8.5 +/- 0.2 mm. If the channel has been spread, replace the interlock.
