ok so when im racing or watever i grind into 3rd gear........it only does it at high rpms.........now do u think it could be because of low tranny fluid or could my gears just be messed up?

b series trannies grinds in 3rd a lot. if you beat on it, dont expect it to last like 200k. gst some syncromesh and it will make it go away

ROFL...well like most any other honda owners we all have the grinding tranny problem. ofcourse changing tranny fluid on a regular basis will help but in the end it's inevitable. now most trannys will start to grind closer to the middle of there life. around 200 000km's. now for instance my 91 teg grinds from 1st to 2nd when shifting hard. now anyone can make there tranny grind by shifting to fast...short shifters will not help this problem. what causes it??? simple: synchros's in your tranny are worn. try GM synchromesh as it's an additive that helps bandaid the synchro's and will help get rid of the grind. just try and rev match more and just don't shift so fast wit some snychromesh and you'll be fine for a long time to come. worked for me and i'm just shy of 300 000km's

yeah so then i should probably take it easy then for a bit? i mean i can get it not to grind if i wait like a second but then ima loose the race lol........................................so i should buy some stuff for it then huh?

i ahve the same problem. i already put GM synchromesh in there and its not really doing anything. does this mean i need to replace synchro?

Not having a high performance clutch with a really good pressure plate can cause your tranny to grind also.Maybe shifting to fast and not having the clutch fully engaged.just replace 3rd gear synchro.

i have the same problem in my 00 si, only in 3rd too some people told me to try the synchromesh, and the others just told me to drive my tranny into the ground

it doesnt matter what fluid you put in there. its still gonna grind. your syncros will not the be problem and more simply because youre not grinding on the GEAR itself and it will need to be replaced as well. 9/10 times you cant just buy the syncro from honda anyway. youll need to get the entire 3-4 gear set.

Slammed Civic Si

yeah my si does that too and its only above liek 6000 rpms it drives me nuts

your gonna have to change the syncros, there is no way around it. get carbon coated syncros then you will never have that problem again.
