None of my gears want to go in at all...for a bit it was jus rough shifting but then turned into gears not wanting to go in so i changed the slave and master cylinder. and no difference. so now im thinking could it be the syncros? i read that hondas take a special type of transmission oil. and i bought my bb6 about 2 months ago and it was fine. i read that if you put regular tranny oil it will work find for a bit but eventually mess up all the syncros. so can this be why none of my gears want to go in? Also i read this can happen from the clutch spring retainers breaking. i can put all the gears in when i hold it at about 1500 RPM or a little less. so can it be the syncros or spring retainers that broke? thanks

not sure the syncros, but the service manual says to put in 10w-30 in my manual tranny

 

I dont think regular 10w-30 will mess anything up. But i believe when the manual was writen honda didnt make their own MTF. Correct me if im wrong ? Thats what i always use and it made my shifting feel alot better after a change. I would try that and if its still rough go with some Syncromesh. Hopefully thats the problem.
