f20bej1

hellsyea2020

syncros...mine used to do it in 3rd and 4rth i put an old y7 tranny i had lyin around on the y8 ...its perfecto again

00 Em1 Si

ok thanks guys. my cousin has a shop and i think im going to take it there this weekend. i also take it that i shouldnt drive it ?

EJgsr

drive the hell out of it. i dont even have a good syncro in my tranny.

00 Em1 Si

how much do you guys think this will cost? labor will be cheap if any because my cousin will do.

sohc_coupe24

Personally, I think that labor would charge a grip for it. Then again, if you have a cousin who knows how to do it...it would probably save u a ton...this is of course if he "knows" how to do it.

00 Em1 Si

yeah he knows how to do it he has his own shop but well see i talked to him he told me to bring it down tomorrow and he will take a look at it

toggs

well if he is gonna tear it down and "look at it" then you might as well put in new ones. personally i would drive that tranny into the ground

hes not really going to "look at it" probably just drive it and if i have enough money hopefully this weekend get it fixed. i would "drive it into the groung" but i dont have the money for a new tranny though a tryp r with lsd would be nice

Thizzed Out

start saving up lol

00 Em1 Si

eventually. no job kinda blows but hey i was a janitor in the summer for my school lmao ohh and i did work at wendys

I LUV MY NINJA

Definately Syncroz suppppper common wit hondas

i say for the $ u spend on replacing them.. unless its just 3rd n forth ( they usually come in a set ) u might as well buy a used tranny

EGsrHATCH

i got the exact same clutch/flywheel in a GSR tranny and get the same thing only goin to third gear...
ive been told try synchromesh fluid first, the GM brand was recomended as the best by someone i know whos tried diff kinds.
unfourtunatley i havent tried it yet so i cant give you a definite thumbs up on it, but i plan on pickin up some... deff worth a try before tearin down a transmission

00 Em1 Si

thats wierd maybe ill try that synchromesh before we do anything deff dont fell like tearing it apart. maybe tomorrow ill go pick some up ill let you know if it works. thanks

di2ferio

same thing happened to me **** started grinding on top of third and then replaced the fluid with GM syncromesh and it doesn't happen anymore but if it still does then you need new syncro's or just replace tranny

00 Em1 Si

where should i look to get the synchromesh at? maybe like summit racing, im only aobut 30 min from there or would like advanced auto have it?

Jagolas

advance auto used to have it when i worked there a couple years back. i don't remember the exact price, but it wasn't much. Last time i saw it they had moved it over with the transmission rebuild kits and b&m shifter fluid, so it may not be with the normal tranny fluid.

Bense

synchromesh = waste of time

you need #3 and #7


#3 = 23440-P21-000 GEAR, MAINSHAFT THIRD $123.73
#7 = 23623-P21-315 SLEEVE SET, SYNCHRONIZER (3-4) $162.83

Once trans is off of car:
90min job if you know what you're doing
180min job if you're a virgin
2 week job if you're like most dolts on here

why do you say its a waste of time? you dont think that i should try synchromesh to try to hold me over until i save up enough money to get maybe a type r with lsd. eventually when i sell my bike im going to go boost idk what to do. like i said my cousin can do it but i dont know if i want to wasnt the time/ money if its just going to be replaced.

EGsrHATCH

its hardley a waste of time to try something that could work and is pretty inexpensive...
and as far as where to get it, i would assume GM dealership serviceshops keep it in stock

That's the thing. It doesn't work. yeah, you could buy an ITR trans, but who's to say that it won't grind in 1 month?

Try selling your b16 trans w/ a 3rd gear grind. you won't get much for it.

Or you could get a used ITR LSD and replace your damaged parts for less money.
