Any ideas here:
I know this might sound incredibly gay.... but some things concern people such as myself.
The other night I was leaving work and i just felt like ripping it down a little back road 1st to second.
Now generaly i will rip second gear, loosing a good amount of traction (chirping) and what not.
Now as I slamed second (or maybe my shift sucked... i doubt it tho) I dont really think i heard anything, I also cant really remember if i felt loss of traction.. Now im also fimiliar w/ some peoples comments that "hey man thats a good thing, you kept traction", but im just used to ripping second. and a little chirp in third.
The setup is an h22 (1994 jdm spec) in an EG hatchback.. Bone stock h22.
Tires: nitto 450 extreme (195/50/15)
Also right now, I cant get my car to go into reverse... This is a different topic here.. and Im not sure whats up w/ that... The place i bought the motor from said that i needed a different tranny fluid (gm synchomesh) so im going to do that soon...
But any ideas... on the 1st to second w/ out ne noise... I know this sounds childish but i also know that you all can hear it when you rip thru a gear.. My car also might be a little to loud to hear it possibly but i also dont think so...

First of all nobody should say you need GM Synchromesh for a Honda tranny.
Sure it has worked wonders for others, but it is in no way a REQUIREMENT for honda trannies.
It sounds to me like someone doesn't want to warranty a tranny, so they lay the blame on you by saying you've got the wrong fluid. a properly functioning Honda tranny should shift fine using fluids specified by honda - none of which is GM Synchromesh.
Honda specifies that you use either 10W30 engine oil, or their Honda Maunal Transmission fluid depending on the year and model of car/tranny.
Secondly your lack of hearing a "chirp" or what not might have been due to some clutch slippage.

you probably just missed the shift that time. Sometimes I can chirp 4th, but not all the time.
as far as the tranny fluid goes, the synchromesh is good for synchros that are starting to go, and its only a temporary fix. Im currently using it and it has temporarily "fixed" my 1st and 3rd gear grind. I think think reverse has a synchro so it wouldnt even make a difference. Just sounds like a tranny problem and different fluid is not gonna be able to fix it.

well i have had the swap for about 2 weeks running, and yes it did go into reverse when i had the swap all done...
The thing is, Im really confused b/c reverse worked perfect for a while and all of a suden it just quit going in...
Any suggestions?
