So what's up with the thing where civics can't shift into 5th or reverse? Is it easy to fix and is it a serious problem?
 
Can't shift into 5th or reverse?

Sounds like a possible synco problem.

Gearbox repairs can be serious problems.
 
Well I see it on craigslist a lot and I want a civic so if it's easy and not serious it would greatly lower my cost
 
Or it could be shift linkage issue..
 
You should probably get that checked out before you decide to buy to see if it's something simple or serious.
 
Search on a Civic forum for specialized questions like this. It's probably a fault in the design or production of the transmission.
 
Sounds like linkage issues.

Unless people are trying to find 5th in a base model EF, in which case they need a smack. There isn't one.
