my tranny grinds a bit in to 3rd and 4th gear...
where can i get the syhcronizer blocker ring? do 90-93teg tranny ones work? or whats the deal... should I try gm syncromesh see if that fixes the problem?

 

the yellow bottle penzoil syncromesh from autozone is the same formula and cheaper, easier to get, etc.


I also have a Y1 with lsd and i have a grind too. the fun part about our trannies is the rebuild kits come from dealerships in japan.

yey.

one of the engine importers in califorina could get you one, but after the shipping and the labor to install it you could have bought another tranny from the importer by that time, for less money.

gear speed is a place in cali that has sycros for jdm cable trannies, theres a thread on here, search for syncro (sp?) with archive content checked

its worth a shot to try the mesh fluid, if it works for you. couldnt hurt.

o btw, i also have to double clutch 5th at any rpm to keep it from grinding, as well as the usual high rpm 3rd gear thats very common.

Well Ill give that a shot I was under the impression that s1 usdm trannys have the same synchronizer blocker rings... considering people swap out the 5th from jdm y1 and **** and drop in 5th from ls... if it comes down to it and i pull the tranny i will let everyone know or if someone does let me know lolz...

oh and when u put that (gm/penzoil) gear oil in... it's going to take a while to kick in i guess, cause mine used to grind third but after like maybe 200 miles no grind on third

 

thing is i got my motor and tranny from importer in november did my swap and started preping the car for body shop so last week when i eventually drove it to the shop i noticed te grind in 3rd and forth i was like fuc k lol...but w/e well see.. thanks for the info ill try and get everyone pictures of the car when it comes out of the shop...

If you are going to try syncromesh, go with the friction modified. I do not recommend the regular kind as it is not even comparable to the friction modified.

 

Is that also made by gm?

thank you very much that was very informative

 

you know!

 

If the synchromesh doesn't help your situation, replacing your synchros may be your next best solution.
