91 hatch shift slipage

So i just bought a 91 civic hatch it runs pretty well, but the the shifter wants to kick out of gear but it doesnt do it all the time it mostly does it in second but it will do it in any other gear as well any ideas?

Re: 91 hatch shift slipage

Synchros will do that too I think.. I'm leaning toward synchros just because it's much worse in one gear than another, etc.. Provious owner probably shifted too hard and too fast..

Both of those suck with my experiances GM Sycromesh Friction Modifyed is the only tranny fluid i use. if your tranny fluid was low you would also notice hard shifting and grinding.
