hhey guys im new to the s2k but i have a 2000s n im wondering if there is any way to get rid of the 1-2 grind...cheapest like i hope a newer tranny is the route i would have to take... any way im preparing to put in some gm messh in a few days to help it a bit but i know it would solve problem ...it just frustrates me when it happens i know u guys understand...so help me out on this thanks

 

try gm or redline fluid

alternatively doublt clutching will save your synchro and prevent the noise.

 

what do u think about a new clutch? i mean if i drive normal it never happens...but if im messin around every now n then it will happen when i hit vtec n ride out first but doesnt do it all the time...i know its not major n it just a honda thing for the s2000 but i was just wondering if there was anyway to solve

 

the grinding is caused by the honda synchoniser and the selector collar not by the gears per se.

It often happen at high rpm. It's the inherent problem in our gearbox/synchoniser design. It helps with gm or redline fluid but if it gets very bad you will need to order new synchro.

Alternatively you can get a dogbox and you will not have to face this problem or gear failure. This is not cheap or readily available solution though.

 

nice...ill keep that in mind...but just wondering how much for the box

 

the prototype dogbox and twinplate clutch costs me $AUD 9000 so far ...not counting the cost of labour.

The good new is that it should be done by early next week

 

If your going to have a daily driver a dog box wouldnt be ideal. If you were having a purpose built track car a dog would be ideal.

 

with a dogbox helical gear it's actually great for daily fang

 

My 2nd gear never grinds but it always feels 'notchy' every time I shift into 2nd. Its getting annoying and I might take it to Honda

 

yea im gonna put some gm mesh in n deal with it i think but if u take it to the dealer let me knoww what they say
