My lude is a 99 with 64k and when i shift into 5th fast or faster than a normal person. the gears grind, my guess is syncros. yours?

 

happens to me too its probably your synchros. i changed my tranny fluid and it helped a bit but i just double clutch into 5th now and it doesnt grind.

 

everyone with an H22 seems to have 5th gear grinds....all my friends anyways....i have none good old Jap Spec

 

theres TSB out the *** fo rthis problem , its very common in the h and f trannies , its a missalignment in the 5th gear shift fork , contact honda , some will do a goodwill repair under warrenty

Yeah i was gonna say the same thing.

its not syncros....its somethign hond has known about for years and has posted fixes to to all their dealers as well as honda repair shops that participate in honda programs.

 

so does honda have a recall or anyhting to fix it? cause i defently dont have a warenty

 

it is a Technical Service Bulletin. Not a recall, so it does cost to have the work done.

 

Most 5th Gen. Preludes have this problem....I have this problem with mine, so I usually just double shift when going into 5th gear, and it won't happen

 

in the TSB i saw it siad it was eligible for a goodwill repair , but its not a garenteed warrenty issue

 

whats a goodwill repair

 

the service manager may agree to do the repair at no charge. it usually helps when asking for a goodwill repair to be a regular custoemr of the service department and have purchased the car at that dealer though.

I posted the TSB a while back. Do a search for it - i'll try to find it myself.

 

HAHA! Found it.

Glad i could hlep.

 

So basicly its up to them then if they want to do it for free ? Or do you still have to pay labor or somethin? Because i dont wana pay for something that was not manufactured correctly.

 

If you haven't already, try bleeding the clutch system. My lude did the same thing. After i bled it the grind went away. Also you may want to try some synchromesh. This is a controversial topic on HT but ive had it im my tranny for about 15k miles and haven't had any grinding problems.
