GEARS KEEP LOCKING! PLEASE HELP
i have a ek4 with a b18c-r and just lately when i try changing gears it keeps locking (in the middle of the gearbox) for a second then lets me in. i have to wait till the rpm drop when i clutch it to change gear. it kinda feels like when you are trying to put the car to first when rolling to a stop. if your going to fast it wont let you till u hit the right speed. anyone know what is happening?

When it does this, does it grind?</TD></TR></TABLE>
it does sometimes but a small grind. i would have to drive the car slow and change gears while the rpms are still low. if i change gear when the rpm is like past 3k it will lock till it drops.
i dont think its the clutch since the clutch still feels normal. still bites.
friend mention the throw out bearing cause its makes a spinning whining noise when i lift off the clutch before it bites.

yeah sounds like throwout bearing. I did a clutch job on my integra not long ago and it would go into any gear for like 5 monutes finally I got it into 5th then reverse then 4th then 3rd and so on and very hard to shift. And the whining noise. After I drive it a few miles it got better and eventeually went away, I was lucky in that my bearing aligned itself the rest of the way I must have not had it seated into the flywheel just perfectly.
