but if this was the case, can you explain why i cant get into 3rd, but i can in any other gear? I am not doubting you, but I would just like to understand a little more.

That was the same problem with my car... <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by str8JDMteggy &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I think your syncros are fine.

I didnt know 3rd gear was the only gear it didnt go into i must of missed that. But even though still after i noticed my car was acting funny i stopped, pushed in the clutch and it would go into any gears, then it went into reverse and 2nd only, then finnaly it went into 1st and i drove home. Im not saying im 100% im just taking an educated guess. Also how is 4th gear? If you cant get it into 3rd, and 4th will go in hard or grind i can almost tell you 100% that the shifting fork is bent. In my case last year my car wouldnt go into reverse, and would grind 5th. All other gears were fine. Ended up the reverse/5th gear fork was bent. 1st/2nd, 3rd/4th, and 5th/reverse use the same fork to shift.

is its a GSR tranny It may be the syncro.

I hate saying it. but. Gsr tranny's have this problem.

Try the Master cylinder

I think im having a similer problem with my gsr tranny...

It shifts fine when im at idle.(sitting still) I push the clutch down and I can put it threw all the gears just fine.

BUT, when im driving and I shift from 1ST - 2ND over ~3500RPMs, It grinds slightly as i put it into gear. If I shift very quickly out of first (less then 3000 RPMs) then the grind is very slight or non-existant.

If i rev the car up to about 4000rpm while sitting still, hold the clutch down, and try to move the shifter into 2nd it also makes the grinding noise...without even taking my foot off teh clutch.

Only seems to happen in shifting 1-2.... Also when I down shift from 3-2 it dosent happen....

If I Start in first and rev it up to ~5000 RPM, I have to wait and let it die back down to ~2000 rpm if I want to shift into 2nd without any grind. Is this the same problem you got? Or is my problem somthing else? (Sorry to jack ur thread - but maybe we got the same problem)

i think we have the same problem. i read somehwere that u can park ur car on level ground and then push ur shifter into the gear that has problems without depressing the clutch. the rpm will start to drop as it wants to engage, and then u just rev the engine up to 3-4.5k or so without grinding your gears for a few seconds. this helps to get off some chemical deposits that has been sticking to your synchronizers. It helped my 3rd gear a little, but its not a permanent fix. i still can't do perfect down-shifts even after i rev match.

Never do this again. Grinding gears is a result of dog-toothed synchros, not chemical depisots. DOn't take **** you read on Team-Integra at face value

NAmodified

my gsr tranny sometimes misses second when i take it to redline, and when i take 3rd to redline it goes in but kind of makes a wooshing grind noise that isnt loud at all. Thats the best i can explain it.... Is it my clutch master or sumthin else??????

sue me. now i feel like a complete idiot. thanks for the warning. my 3rd gear was bad, but seems like i have trouble in all gears now. the funny thing is, when i depress the clutch all the way in, i hear a whining noise. today after a long troublesome commute (very hard to get into any gear), i left the car idle at a stop and i tried to shift with the clutch in, no luck. but when i turned off the engine, it shifts as smooth as butter. now i think it's clutch disc, pressure plate, or throw out bearing that is giving me problem.

i have a similar problem with my b16 tranny too, when the car is moving, i cant downshift to third from fourth, fifth or neutral, but if i put it slightly in second then to third, it goes in fine no grinds below like 4500 rpm, any higher than that, there is a slight grind....

heres what makes me confused, it wont even grind when i try to downshift from fourth, fifth or neutral to third while the car is rolling, i push the clutch all the way then push the shifter as hard as i want into the third gear position, its as i dont have a gear there....no grind or anything and it wont go in gear....put it in 2nd then third and it goes in as if nothing was wrong, above 4500 rpm it grinds slightly then goes in but below that, nothing...

i dont know if that is the same problem your having but i need help with this too, i dont think its the 3rd gear synchro b/c when i'm at idle or driving normal, i could shift to third fine no grind or anything, just cant get straight to third without going to 2nd first when rolling....

I just pulled my clutch yesterday after having the same problem. Hard to get into every gear at RPM over ~5k. I haven't driven the car yet but it was definately a bad clutch, as you can see in the picture. The springs were all real loose, especially the one where the piece of metal broke off that was almost falling out. Sounded like jingle-bells when i shook the clutch lol. I'll update when i get a chance to drive the car tomorrow.

I Have A Similar Problem. I Just Installed A New Action 2MS Clutch,PP,And FW. Before The New Clutch The Tranny Shifted Like Butter , Everywhere On The Tach. No Problems Whatsoever. That Is Untill My OEM Clutch With 124k Mi, Broke A Spring On The Clutch Disc . Here's A Picture Of The OEM Clutch Spring Where It Broke


Since The New Clutch It Has A slight Grind Into 3rd Gear Over 5000 RPM. Never Had This Problem Before The New Clutch. I Also Replaced The CMC Amnd CSC At The Same Time As The Clutch, What Could Cause This Slight Grind ONLY When Into 3rd Gear

RP215.

I have the squeeky clutch problem. It sucks. Master cylinder leaks as well. I can't find the leak though, i just know its there because my fluid level drops in about 2-3 weeks

Tim.

Update to my post above: It was the clutch that was wrong with mine. Shifts like buttah now!

TruGsr1

I am experiancing simialar probelms with my 95 GSR. When I take the car all the way to redline its really hard to get in to 2nd same goes for 3rd gear also. It seems to be a commmon problem for GSR's. So ur saying its bad synchros and MC?

Jay J

Same ish happened to mine at 80,000 miles

Rzepeda95Teggy

My car has been having the same exact problem and I too cannot find whats wrong.I have a 95 gsr with a b18c swap. and it's been having the same exact problem. While im in low rpm's my car will shift fine , but if i try to take it over like about 4-5k same thing wont go into any gear and if i force it , it will grind. I have noticed this problem ever since installing a new clutch.I bought a six puck stage 3 clutch and installed it with the help of a few friends and since the moment I put it on i've had this problem.At first i figured maybe it was installed improperly so we uninstalled it checked everythign out and everything seemed to look fine. Idk what to do should I just buy a whole new clutch disc and install it or what? I too have heard various things that it's my tranny or synchros maybe the clutch or throw out bearing, shift linkage but idk.However our problems do sound identical. i just really wanna get my car going without this shifting problem???? anything info helps.

tekstyle

did you end up figuring out ur problem? it's been years but my clutch eventually failed and i replaced it with an OEM clutch. not a problem since. i still get occasional grinds but it's so rare and random that i figure it's just due to normal wear and tear like any other tranny would once in a blue moon.

Ryan96GSR

pretty sure it's the synco thats worn. I have the same issue with 3rd gear grinding in the higher RPM band. I had the trans swapped out after my Old one failed due to a fluid mishape.

Either my master or my slave has been slowly leaking for a while now. I've never had a issue with grinding on my old trans(with 220,000km) as a result.

Installed a exedy stage 1 and a Fidanza flywheel at the same time with amsoil MTF.

Gsrsi

If your clutch is depressed and is making Noise that's going to be your throw out bearing.
Also I had a 3rd gear grind in my gsr tranny, change the tranny oil, put in 1 quart of synchro mesh and 1.5 of Honda mtf. Makes a huge diffrence.

g-vegas

imhaven the same problem just when i red line 2 going into 3rd it just started this last night by the way it wants to grind any ideas an sometimes it dosent want to go in reverse
