5th gear popping out

[jonleon]

Whats up guys, im new to the civic game and just recently picked up a 02 civic coupe to commute in. The car drives good in 1-4 and also goes into reverse no problem. But when i try going in 5th and step on the gas it immediately gets kicked into neutral. What could the issue be?

Synchro/snap ring is more than likely shot.

If it's happening only in one gear, it's likely a bad synchro.

Unless the OP has the skill and tools to disassemble and reassemble the transmission, the synchro diagnosis is probably too much information as swapping in a working transmission is the best option to fix the problem.

Sure, but OP was asking what the issue was. Was just going into detail. Rather than OP now asking "what's wrong with the transmission" or "can I fix it myself", they can now research what it takes to replace the synchro and determine this on their own

Preach on...

I would venture to guess that >90% of CC members lack the tools, skills, and fortitude to replace synchros.

Consequently, it’s highly likely that transmission replacement is the only realistic option.

I'm sure you're right, but that's not my point. Regardless of technical know-how, OP asked what the issue was. He already knows the 'what', but wants to know the 'why'.

While I do agree with you that it's much much easier to just replace the transmission, I figured it's at least worth mentioning the reason why he should be replacing it.

I talked to a honda tech today, they said its most likely something along the lines of the shift fork not engaging onto the 5th gear. Something along those lines. Lol. The plan is to buy a rebuilt transmission and swap it out myself.
