Help w/ some crazy problems
•Problem #1- The Transmission
When I am in 2nd gear, and I start to romp on it and I go past 5K RPMs, I notice a weird sound from my tranny (I believe that's where it's coming from), and when I shift up to third my tranny grinds for a sec then is fine. Is this a bad syncro? If so how hard is that to replace? How much for a LSD equipped cable transmission?
•Problem #2- Drive train?
When I am driving down the road in any gear, and I hold constant throttle the car seems to slowly lose power, and if I apply more throttle it makes very little difference. However if I let off throttle then reapply throttle quickly is accelerates just fine, but when I do this you can almost feel it sorta "take off". Like you be sitting there waiting, then suddenly it will start accelerating. Any ideas?
•Problem #3- Weird Smell?
This one really bothers me, cause I had the same problem with my '93 Integra RS, but not before I got a stage 1 clutch in the teg. My CRX doesn't have a stage 1 clutch. (as far as I know... it doesn't grab like one that's for sure) So it starts when I am cruising at higher speeds (4th & 5th gear), then I smell it, it doesn't last long and it comes and goes. It kinda smells like burning brake pads, but different, I can only think it's my clutch. However one thing my integra and crx have in common is the fan on the radiator isn't working, however the temp never gets above the half way mark. I would really like to know what this in case I am damaging something when I got out cruising.
I am sorry to post so much in a single thread, but I didn't see the sense in posting them all separately. I am in desperate need of help and any help is appreciated
Thanks for your time,
