Listen to him! I just got the new Si tranny into the CRX on Sunday, and it won't go into 3rd or 4th. Any ideas on what I should look for when I drop the tranny back out and pull it apart. I never dissassembled the countershaft, but I had the mainshaft apart to replace some syncros.

Mine in 1st makes a really bad wirring noice, and sometimes in second. Push in the clutch and it goes away.
Its been making this horrible noise for about a month now.

This:
The ISB will get chewed up and thrown all over the tranny...destroying it and locking it up. Tom said he drove around for a few months on a bad one and he was locked out of gears.

Sounds like I better get it fixed soon.
Anything I can do, not to make things worse before I get it fixed?

Not drive your car. If you have the problem now, using the car more is only going to make your problems worse. What I would do if I were you is either try and replace the bearing yourself, or take it to someone and have them replace it real soon. Remember, some things end up fixing themselves...but bearings aren't one of those things. If you have the problem now, a week from now it will be worse...

with this 
took me about a good hour or so not quite 2 hours to put back the b18c1 tranny with 3 people. well, having to torque the bolts took most of the time.

IMPORTANT! Make sure you align the interlock guide bolt with the groove under the shift arm, I unfortunately did not the first time and bent the shift arm as you can see here (if you do this you will be locked out of 1st, 2nd, 5th, and reverse gears):
</TD></TR></TABLE>
from the picture.. i dont understand what the interlock guide bolt is or the groove under the shift arm. when i actually get in there soon, will it be common sense what they are and how to do it correctly?
or can you go into detail... please?? i really dont wanna mess up...
and how much is a new bearing? where do i get it? honda? thanks

Re: DIY How to: How to take off transmission and Inspect Input Shaft Bearing (lazynok)
I just rebuilt my LS tranny [all new bearings and seals] for around $350. The main shaft bearing was under $20 I think. I bought all my parts online from the places in my sig. I found that most everything inside the tranny was common sense once I opened it up. I tackled mine 100% by myself. Just remember to take it slow, and I took pictures of mine along the way in case I had a question as to where something went.

ok.... now that youve put it that way...
Is there anyway to tell if my xtra tranny is good without opening it? (spinning input shaft) or should I just rebuild it anyways..... gonna be autocrossing alot and beating it up

What kind of transmission is it? Has it ever been rebuilt? How old is it? If it's old and hasn't been rebuilt, it's cheap insurance [roughly $350] to replace all the bearings and seals. While you're in there, why not consider an LSD? With a helm at your side, I promise it won't be that bad. Only real tool I had to invest in for the job was a pilot bearing puller...around $60 shipped.

Not for that...for replacing the main shaft bearing. The tool is called a pilot bearing puller, or an inside jaw slide hammer bearing puller.

You dont even need it. For the ISB...you take a socket with extension and go in through the clutch side...put the stocket against the bearing...and tap with a hammer

I wasn't able to do that on my transmission. I considered using a screwdriver through the other side with a hammer, but then it probably would wedge the bearing in it's seat. Also, I replaced the countershaft bearing that is pressed into the clutch housing. No way to get to the back side of it.
