Basically, match the engine RPMs to the speed they would be at when in a specific at a given MPH.

honda synchros are very weak...almost everyone i know fo has had problems...sometimes it fixes itself temporarily but it usually comes back....it is the internal parts of your tranny...my 5th gear was messed up so they replaced the 5th gear and reverse synchro...without my warranty it would have been about 1100 dollars...do a search on it...its very popular

A) Bleed the clutch
B) Drain tranny and replace with Honda MTL

Helped my shifting noticeably.

What about for OEM LSD transmissions? I'm using Red Line Trans fluid, the one that is made for LSDs.
