take it to acura if it's still under warranty

Bbasso

Mine does it in 2nd, 3rd and 5th...

Very soon I must rebuild, I suggest you do the same.

mr_ben

been covered before, it's either

the transmission fluid needs changing or

the synchro has gone (tho it's more 4th to 5th that goes)

I may be corrected soon, but that my guess


BTW it vtecin (vtech make phones )

Try some GM Synchromesh with Friction Modified.

is this problem inevatable, when doing autocross's and driving events occasionally?

Isnt there a way to slow the process of this happening or even stop it... besides not having fun with the car.

As a first step you can try Penzoil Synchromesh. It's the same as the non-Friction modified GM fluid and is about $5 a quart cheaper and much easier to find. Not quite as good at hiding the synchro problems as the Friction Modified, but a good first step. Really helped my brother's EF Si out.

Couldnt have put it better myself.

You need to get the synchros replaced.

Happened in my old 99 Si, there was a service bulletin for it, brought it into the local Honda Dealership and after some fighting with them I got them to replace it under warranty.

Good luck.

Autocross is pretty easy on the sychros unless you're trying to shift into 1st from a roll. I don't think the occasional HPDE will cause much excessive wear either.

The only grinding I get was due to driver error. But I only have 25k on the caR.

normally it's 2nd and 3rd that grind... 4th and 5th i don't think have as big of a problem unless your a horrible driver?

cheezthis

2-3 is a problem on b-series

4-5 is a problem on h-series

I'm not sure what it is, but it's a bad track record. Add that into the world of Auto 5-spd trouble w/the TL/Accord series, and you have a bit of a mess.

SoCal ITR

Mine does it all the time. It's getting annoying.

DAsix

learn to shift faster.
Do you have a short throw?

Cyber ITR

sorry if i hijack this thread a lil bit

when i change gears on my itr since a couple of months ago, it doesnt feel smooth, but no grind or anything like that, it just feel rough

have already changed the gearbox oil, no help

so im suspecting the clutch, i have no idea if its the clutch or not tho, because the car has done 130,000km which probably still on stock clutch

and the clutch feels sticky and grip pretty high too

help a brother out

209typer

i do shift faster but then it grinds in third its like a little jirk with noise.

I beat the living crap out of my car, no transmission issues. I'm not drag racing (often), and I'm not the fastest shifter in the world.

I would vote that it's not inevitable.
