so i get a used tranny, from someone off of honda-tech. and it's been awhile since i've had it, maybe about 6 weeks since i've had it installed. and now when i'm in really high rpms and go to shift, SOMETIMES it grinds.. any ideas?

 

synchros thats my guess

 

synchros? ****.. why so soon tho. i dont understand. i thought maybe i wasnt putting the clutch in all the way.. when i shift high rpms going into third, SLOWLY shifting. it doesnt grind. i don't get it.

 

well it is used, so you dont really know how the prev owner took care of it...

 

get some GM synchromesh FM

alot of people say it will help with all the grinding

 

youmust have a ls tranny

 

Just shift a tad bit slower and you should be fine. That's why short shifters are a bad idea. That make you shift to fast for the syncros. You can still shift to fast for the syncros with the stock shifter, but it's harder.

 

i have gm synchrocrap already in my tranny. i'm just now thinking that i let off the clutch too soon.. im gonna try tomorrow just shifting slower. i hope it isnt ANOTHER tranny problem because i dont have 1600 bux to put into my fkn car AGAIN. thanks for the replys guys and ill let you know what's going on.

 

gm synchro mesh is a cheap generic band aid. If you want a real band aid buy the BG trans fluid. Its expensive, but it is better than the gm junk

 

try some synchromesh? it seemed to work on my friends car and his 3rd gear was shitty in low rpms

 

either bad clutch work or ive seen bad engine and shifter mounts cause that.
