pops out of gear when I go to speed up and switch gears?

Question

90 honda crx dx model 5 speed. Whenever I go to speed up and shift gears too fast it acts like I pushed in the clutch or something. It's weird I can shift normally just fine but If I am giving it some gas to pass a another vehicle or I down shift a little bit so that I can speed up quicker its almost like it pops into neutral or something. Just got the car, been working out the bugs and then it started doing this. Not a big deal, as it runs and drives otherwise, but if you can help...it would be appreciated. Thanks. 

Answer 1

I had this on a car just after I bought it. The garage ( a big U.K. chain for used cars) tried a couple of times to fix it but in the end it needed a new gear box. However, it did take a letter to the CEO before they agreed to stop messing around and just replace the whole gearbox.

Answer 2

Just got the car? 

I think the previous owner just sold his car, to get out of replacing the clutch! 

Have a transmission shop or mechanic check your clutch.

Answer 3

The clutch may be bad and is slipping.

Answer 4

The transmission could be gone (most likely) but it could also be an adjustment on the shift linkage

Answer 5

Purge it... ...

Answer 6

I'm not sure what you mean by downshift a little bit.  If it's in gear, (and foot off the clutch), and you open the throttle and the engine speeds up but the car doesn't, the most likely problem is a slipping clutch.  

Answer 7

Gearbox is phucked.
