I did it for 2 or 3 years, including a family vacation from Long Island to Georgia, to Disney, North Carolina, and back home.
Oh, had rod knock the whole time too!
That was on my red '91, which finaly expired due to the rod bearings. Big surprise

mine had a rod knock too...not a pretty sound
http://www.geocities.com/serban91r/rattle.wav here's what mine sounded like
mine was caused by oil starvation, the oil pan was so dented up, the oil wasnt recirculating, and eventually spun a bearing.

i'm starting to think my car has a slight slight rod knock. someone posted a wav file of it here a few weeks ago.
the sound i'm hearing sounds very similar except i only hear it at highway speeds, obviously only when moving, around 65-70MPH.
for a while i thought it might be just the injectors, but they'd have to be awfully loud to hear over a cone intake and exhaust, don't ya think? well, i guess i'll just ride it out and see what unravels...

sure it is not something like a dustshield flapping in the air at only freeway speeds?NismoSER said:i'm starting to think my car has a slight slight rod knock. someone posted a wav file of it here a few weeks ago.

Just Fix It
I had popout in my '93 when I bought it. Just fix it man. I'd never touched a transmission ever and I got through most of it without any outside help.
If you decide to try it feel free to email me [email protected] for help

Here's my take on it man.
You CAN drive it without 5th gear, but it's not good for your engine at highway speeds when the engine is still cold. If you have the time to let your engine warm up to operating temp before you drive it that would be best. It's just not good to go running your engine cold at 4,000+ rpm at highway speeds. If you can avoid that then you'll do good by your engine.
Like I said before.....FIX IT!
