A few days ago I go in my car... take the ebrake off, clutch, and the car wont go in gear... ive heard things about clutches freezing, so I let the car warm up and pumped the clutch a lot... finally it let me get into gear.. and the car rode fine.... then today the same problem happened... s0o i warmed it up, pumped the clutch, and still it would only let me get into like 1,2 and 3rd gear. what am I looking at here? big problem or easy fix? btw the lude is a 98 base

 

i had the same problem before... it end up being i need a new clutch. a piece of the clutch was crack and it made the clutch stuck so it wouldnt spin. i couldnt put into gear. so once it happen i had to shut off the car and put it into gear and drove.. it was freakin crazy for one day... intill i got my new clutch install that next day. u might wanna take out ur clutch and check it out again make sure u install it right... bleed the clutch first to see if that helps....

 

True story ^

Bad/going clutch can mean loss of certain gears. I drove my old lude around with only four gears for a little while before I got a new clutch.

 

I had the same prob. on my 5 th gen accord ex. I t was the clutch master cylinder. I had to keep aclose eye on the clutch fluid resevoir to make sure the levels we high enough. I had a leak. You may want to check under your car for any leaks. If it's leaking, then you may want to check your timing belt as well since they are in clse proximity to each other. Mine was leaking all over my t-belt and the chemicals in the DOT 3 fluid will prematurely corrode the t-belt.

 

I also had the same problem in my old 92 accord ex manual. Honda found that a barring had gotten down into the gearing(?). It was awhile ago, but a problem they covered, because it was shortly after I had some work done there.
