"ac doesn't work., 5th gear sincro is going out this is a common problum for these cars"

How do you fix the 5th gear, and the AC?!
Thank you

 

What year man?

The 5th gear is common, replacement requires removal and partial disassembly of the transmission.

The A/C varies from year to year...
93's and some 94's had R12 while most 94's and all 95's had R134 systems.

The 5th gear synchro can be done yourself if you're mechanically competent. I'm told you can remove the extension housing and 5th/rev housing without taking it off the car, but I've never seen it detailed. Either way you're looking at a couple to 6 hours of labor for a $25 part. You _can_ double-clutch it into 5th until you get around to having it fixed.

AC could vary - the R134 systems shouldn't be rocket science, and used parts are readily availalbe for cheap. The R12 parts are also available but the R12 refrigerant is hard to find and any authorized supplier will gouge you good to get some.

FYI - Yes 5th gear problems are common on this car. KD Rotary charges ~$300-350 to do the 5th gear synchro.

I don't think A/C is a common failure, but it happens.

 

I just wanted to say thank you for your input, it is a 1993, and selling for really cheap and just has the AC and 5th gear wrong with it

 

I've heard that a gear not working can mean the clutch is goin out...

 

5th gear syncros are very common. Mines grinding and will be replaced shortly.

The RX-7Store also does 5th gear syncro replacements.

 

Um, no. If none of the gears go in, you may have a clutch problem - such as a broken clutch fork.

 

what happens when it's titled "5th gear is going out"

 

That autotrader ad you're referring to has been classified as a scam. 5k for an fd is too good to be true.
