i have a b16 in my crx. When i take my car out for a little fun when i get close to redline third gear wont go in. does anyone know why. i have an exedy stage 1 clutch, only has 5,000 miles on it.

 

I'm assuming you have B16 with cable transmission.

And the synchros will go bad in heavy use. Its totally common in these gearboxes. You could have bad synchros. And thatswhy the gear wont engage every time.

Change the synchros, or get a new tranny.

This can be one option.

Have you adjusted the cable lately? Does the clutch "take off" enough good?

 

how is your shift linkage?? just a guess

 

did the problem just start? or has this been happening for a while now

 

no i have the hydro tranny with the hasport conversion kit. it just started happening. when i get up to 8000 and want to shift it will not go in to 3rd at all.

 

WILL IT GRIND? if it doesnt the check shift linkage if it does then its probably synchros
