We have a 1983 Honda Civic that our sons use (and probably abuse).
Recently fifth gear (manual transmission) quit working. Now when you shift into fifth it's just like being in neutral. I checked the engine oil level and topped it up a bit (about a half quart low). I saw no filler or dipstick on the transmission so I sorta think the engine and transmission probably share the same oil supply. Any ideas what the cause might be?

The oil supply is not the same. Look for a plug about 3-4" above the bottom of the case on the transmission - that is the fill hole/level.

When I saw the title, I was _so_ hoping this thread was going to be a link to an amausing Fifth Gear video featuring an 83 Civic.
Hope your kids car is back on the black again soon. Zach |

Thanks for the replies. It gives us some meat to chew on. Looks like it's supposed to hold a little over two quarts of fluid, so we can fill it and get an idea how low the level is/was.
