Only happens to me when i'm going into third quickly, it seems to grind a bit when i'm putting it into place, other than that all the other gears are fine. A friend said maybe the syncros where bad? Anyone else have an idea?

 

What year civic is it? could be warranty. How many miles and I'll check the ISIS network for Honda Techs.

 

96ex with 80 and some change.

 

when i shift quickly between 2nd and 3rd and 3rd and 4th on my b16 tranny i feel a little roughness.... not too good

 

Sorry cuz I looked nd no recalls. My bad dude I hate giving bad news. Good news is it's honestly not that hard to fix.

 

its cool, thanks though. like i said though its not to bad, but its noticeable if i shift real fast/hard. and its only third. kinda odd.

 

If you want to test if the syncro went bad, double clutch before shifting into 3rd.. if there is no grind then its the syncro..

 

i have the same problem, grinds almost every time under hard conditions and sometimes in daily driving

 

i have no problems with 3rd gear, but switching from 1st to 2nd gear at a high rpm, it takes a second before i can shift into gear...

 

Alot of these grinds are from shifting too fast with the stock trans. I recently had to print something for a customer that shifted way too fast, and I had to replace 3rd synchro. If I find it, I'll post it just can't remember what service news it was under.

 

3rd gear grind for me too in a 92-5 civic only in higher rpms( 4k and up)

 

thats what started in mine, if ur **** grinds, double clutch or drive easy or it will go down hill from there, first hand experiance for me

 

solution= buy a used jdm tranny for a few hundred bucks with good synchros

i have the same problem. i can shift to 3rd and 4th as quickly as i want but 2nd is always a pain. it's like it has to stop in neutral then go into 2nd...

i know what u mean

 

I had noises and some grinding a LONG time ago... I switched to Redline MTL and it COMPLETELY went away... now almost 100k miles later the input shaft bearing is occaisionaly making a noise like it's going to go...

But for 30 bucks or so in tranny fluid I got an extra 100 thousand miles out of my trans... I had mechanics telling me that it was time to start looking for a new trans.

Just a side note... I've since replaced the Redline with penzoil's synchromesh Not friction modified and it seems to shift just as smooth...

I highly recomend looking into this before shopping for a tranny.

Also it could be a VERY long time even on whatever fluid is in there now before the gear is actually in-accessable/unusable.

What kind of fluid is in there now?
