If anyone can help me I'd be grateful. My 2001 Civic (manual transmission) slips out of second gear often, especially when I'm turning and/or the clutch is slightly engaged. It has done this since I bought it new 5 years ago but has gotten much worse lately and doing it almost every day, especially when it's raining or damp outside. The scenario is, I switch to second to turn, then as I'm letting up the clutch and pressing the accelerator, it slips into neutral. Any suggestions? I find myself trying to hold down the gearshift with my hand to try to keep it from slipping. Every other gear works fine, but then, I usually only turn in second. Thanks!

 

I woulds say your sincro is bad or on the sincro hub some springs keep it in gear thy might be bad.I would take it out and take it to a trans shop or the dealer.
