I think my synchros are bad it grinds in 4th and 5th gear if i really push on it but does not grind when driving it easy.. Some say it might be my clutch but it still grabs okay. i'm changing my clutch to exedy this weekend but can anyone tell me how i can check my synchros? whats involved in changing out synchros? or should i buy a new transmission to save some headache?

need info ASAP

 

mine does the samething, grinds from 1-2 and 2-3 at higher rpms, i have to let it drop low and shift to get no grinds. really sucks, was told it's the synchros, thinking i might rebuild the tranny myself, or maybe just get it done by someone else. was told $450 for everything including a warranty.

 

syncros are bad/worn.

 

how much is involved to changin synchros?

 

get a helms manual. i just got a couple. but if you've never opened a tranny, then you can benefit greatly from this. very in depth and detailed. hope you find one. trannies aren't that hard to work on...sorta intimidating but you just have to dive into them and have the right tools. syncros are easy to swap out.

 

Welcome to the club...

My third gear syncro is messed up. I might tear apart one of these days and change it. If you replace your clutch, you might as well get the work done on your tranny as well...

 

I GRND THIRD AT HIGH RPMS NOTHIGN WHEN I DRIVE NORMAL SUCKS WHEN RCING THOUGH, LAST TIME AT THE TRACK I WAS HITTING 14.9'S CONSISTENTLY WITH JUST BOLT ONS IN MY GSR, I HIT A 14.903 AND I MISSED 4TH SO I HIT 14.903 A7 80 RATHER THEN THE OL 93.65 OR WHATEVA IT PIST ME OFF CAUSE I COULD OF PROBABLY HIT 14.8 OR 14.7 ON THAT ONE RUN

 

I'd recommend changing your tranny fluid and run Honda MTF. If it still grinds then I would replace the synchros.

 

Where can I buy synchros for my 97 Accord? About how much are they?

 

to make sure its your synchros i was told when you go to change you tranny oil see if there is any copper lookin shavings in there and if there is your synchros are bad.

i was a believer in honda MTF until i read this thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=549469
people are saying in there that they use honda MTF and still have grinds but when they switch to the GM stuff, the grinds usually disappear. maybe give that a try...its about the easiest fix if it works for your situation.
