hey guys im new to this forum, I have a civic SI 1.6 vtec
i got a problem in the gearbox i guess..
i was in a race when i was trying to shift into the 3rd gear but it wasnt going to 3rd with gear noise just like shifting with out a clutch, then i was trying to reverse the car the gear wasnt going to the R....
I asked some guys they said its the fork....
can any body tell me whats wrong with the gear box?
the gear box is S4 open ratio...

 

1st Problem: 3rd Gear

-Most likely your synchros

2nd Problem: Reverse Gear

-At idle, put it into 1st Gear, move to 2nd, then into reverse. It stops the synchros.

 

i tryed but the same.

 

If it was your fork, then most likely, you'd be locked out of all gears. I'm guessing it's your synchros. You don't seem to know a whole lot about how a transmission works, or how to work on one. My sugguestion to you is to buy a used tranny from the classifieds, and then sell your old tranny to someone willing to rebuild it.

 

thanx i would buy if i was in the states

 

Another good idea might be to buy a new tranny, and once you have your old one out, crack it open, and fix it. I did that in my bathroom I cracked open a 6th gen tranny and did an ISB swap, took everything apart, put it all back together like a puzzle. I learned a LOT.

 

which one is better close ratio or open? pls give me the tranny code number so i can order...

 

Order? Dude, if you order a transmission from honda, you're going to pay like $1500. Do yourself a favor, and buy an B16A or B18C transmission locally through the classifieds. You shouldn't pay more than $500.

 

im not in the states

 

Corona, California isn't in the USA?
