    Question 4 speed?

    Ok I'm not new to the honda thing. But i don't have a ? Did the 87 accord ever come in a 4 speed? I know the civics did but I'm not sure on the accord. My accord only has 1-4-R and I'm thinking my 5 gear might be gone.

    Nope, should be 5.

    All 3gs are 5spd (at least in the US, probably worldwide).

    Maybe someone switched out your shift knob. You haven't tried shifting into it?

    I have tired to shift into it and it seems like there is a gear there but once i let the clutch out it just revs up. So I'm thinking its dosent have a 5th gear.

    Aren't the 5th gears replaceable without dropping the tranny?

    Doing 5th gear with the tranny in still is easy with some air tools.

    And you will know me by the cloud of smoke.
