putting in new syncros. need know how
ok so i have an B18b1 motor and the tranny pretty much went :- ( it all started with a 3rd gear grind with high rpms. then it when to a grind regularly in to 3rd. then it would barley go in to gear and if it did, it would pop out of gear. so what i have here is a debate wither or not it's worth rebuilding this tranny with new syncros if this is the problem.
*do you think the gears are still good from the grinds?
*is it the syncros?
*any info on how to do this syncro swap would be awesome.
PLZ help!!!

Re: putting in new syncros. need know how (spooledhonda)
You'll need to replace the following to fix the 3rd gear issue:
1.) 3rd-4th gear synchro set
2.) mainshaft 3rd gear (if it's not already included in the 3-4 synchro set)
3.) 3rd gear synchro spring
You may also need to replace the following:
1.) differential bearings
2.) clutch housing mainshaft bearing & seal
3.) mainshaft bearing (opposite end to the other bearing)
4.) 3-4 shift fork
5.) any other worn or damaged bearings, gears, synchros, shift forks
1.) 3rd-4th gear synchro set
2.) mainshaft 3rd gear (if it's not already included in the 3-4 synchro set)
3.) 3rd gear synchro spring
You may also need to replace the following:
1.) differential bearings
2.) clutch housing mainshaft bearing & seal
3.) mainshaft bearing (opposite end to the other bearing)
4.) 3-4 shift fork
5.) any other worn or damaged bearings, gears, synchros, shift forks

care to explain specifically why he needs to replace all those parts besides the 3/4 synchro set?
why would he need to blow the money on a 3-4 shift fork for example ?

Inspect worn parts, but sounds like you most certainly need 3-4 sleeve set which includes 3rd and 4th gear synchros and synchro springs.
The gear is NOT included in the sleeve set and shouldnt be changed unless it is damaged

Re: (Danny_EJ)
Shift forks do wear where they contact the synchro sleeve. In a lot of transmissions that I've seen where the synchros were dead, the shift forks also had a lot of wear.
I've forgotten that the synchro springs are included with the synchro set. There's no need to purchase them separately.
