Doesn't make the gearbox stronger. Only helps it work more efficiently. The carbon acts as a braking material to help stop the gear faster vs. metal to metal contact in regular applications. You have to have a softer material in between two hard metals. This keeps things from destroying eachother completely in cases of mishifting.

We have solds 1000's of kits and used them in 1000's of transmissions ourselves...So much...that we are currently sold out on Hydro B series...H series and D series. We will be getting some more in Mid February.

Definitely not just your imagination, they do feel smoother than oem synchro's! Gearspeed definitely has you covered for honda and acura transmissions.
