    hard to shift gears on 91 Accord

    I have a 5-speed 91 Honda Accord and the gears are feeling hard to shift. Any
    thoughts? Thank you.

    Sean,

    You haven't told us the mileage, or the last time you drained and
    refilled your tranny, or the outside temperature. If it's -40 where you
    are, your problem might not be a problem. Otherwise, stick your pinky
    into the 'fill' hole and see if there's any fluid in the gearbox. Your
    oil change place will do this for you if you ask. You'd be better off to
    have a real mechanic drain and top it up for you with Honda MTF. Your
    owner's manual will tell you the exact capacity, or the parts guy at
    your dealer will know . . . . .

    Have you checked the fluid level in the clutch master cylinder?

    It could be the cluch pressure plate is about to expire. It happened to me
    just 3 weeks ago in my 1993 integra.

    Hope tho for your sake it is just the fluids level.

    Tazzzzzzzzz

    Sean,

    Bear in mind that fluid levels don't tell the whole story. For instance,
    if you 'top up' the reservoir, but there's already air in the line, it
    will still have to be bled to cure the problem. A spongy feeling pedal
    and grinding shifts will persist until you eliminate the air. Rarely
    does the air bubble come back out for you. :-(
