Just take some time to get some info on our tranny's!
This should be interesting

 

80,000 miles on H22A4, no grinds, leaks, smooth shifting.
Steve

 

120k miles on it. Slow leak from where CV joint goes into tranny.

Its there from when i did my swap. Must of busted a seal in there. Other than that its fine. Look for a swap soon to M2b4.

 

185,6xx on a h22a4 1999. sometimes trouble getting into first gear. but no unusual grinding. looks to be leaking from the top. honda mtf was just replaced couple of months ago.

 

My 96 Si (h23 w/160k) has brand new axle seals and fresh honda MTF in it...shifts ohh so smooth and no grinds ....no complaints ..

 

1993 h23 M2S4

245,000 miles, same clutch as when i bought car at 120K. And I have been really beating on tranny since adding VTEC and revving everything up over 7 at times.

works perfectly except 3rd gear synchro's starting to go a little.. but hardly noticeable

 

Sometimes grinding in 1st gear/hard to get in gear is a clutch warped and not fully disenaging.

Does it have chatter?

 

lil bit... not bad

 

if it was a clutch issue it would happenin every gear, not just one

who were you referring too?

 

When my clutch was warped, high rpm would blow shifts in any gear. 1st was a little sticky most of the time... and for some reason the clutch pedal was very stiff. Changed disc, Pressure plate, Flywheel, its all good now.

 

my 3rd gear issue is synchro's. i know that.

i automatically figured he was talking about my clutch with over 125,000 miles on it, when he mentioned chatter.

 

This is cool to see how many transmissions are fubar

 

I have a little resistance going into 1st also, but after that everything is fine. I've had no problems so far and this is my first 5 speed car.

 

130k, notorious 5th gear grind. every other gear is fine and dandy.

 

128,xxx kms on it, aftermarket clutch by previous owner
sometimes will not go into reverse/first

 

82,000 miles with no problems whatsoever.

 

almost 208,000 on my 92 s. Synchros in 3rd are messed up since it takes a bit for it to catch when shifting from 2nd. Also hard to downshift into 1st sometimes.

 

m2f4 tranny has about 80,000. it just leaks a little from the seal where axle goes in. as long as the fluid is not low, it shifts great.

 

160K on my 97SH and having some current issues with a screeching noise starting out in 1st gear along with the hard shifting in all gears when its cold. Clutch was replaced at 100K with an OEM replacement.

 

im at 167k in 99 sh, shifts as smooth as when it had 2 miles on it

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

what mtf do you use i use honda mtf with lucas, drained and refilled every 50k

you have to be **** about pm if you want it to last forever, definitely if you drive yours as hard as i do mine

 

150,xxx in perfect shape

 

Downshifting into first while your moving is suppose to be hard to do!

Why can't people take off in second? I can go from stop np in 2nd gear. Maybe its just the h23 tranny.

 

Yeah downshifting to 1st gear is tricky from second. I usally do it; you just need to get a feel for it. Coming off the highway into my apartment complex is usally when I do it.

hmm.... let me think....CLUTCH. starting in 2nd will cause more heat, making it wear out faster. Because of less torque by gear reduction in 2nd gear, more torque must be applied to engine and clutch to get the same movement out of car. Why can't people? they can. They just know better.
