think i found my grinding issue, any one have any input?

 

crap i forgot to write...theres no clearance between the gears and brass rings

 

thats how its supposed to be. syncro just sits right on the gear.

the problem to me looks to be on the dog teeth of the gear itself, the syncro looks fine. i would bet the sleeve (part that slides between the gears to select one or the other) probably has some damage as well. just my .02 based on the pics.

you should see my 4th gear which i had to replace. the dog teeth were shot, syncro wasnt too bad (worse than yours in that pic). decided to replace just the gear and i havent had much of a problem since.

 

It's possible to file the dog teeth, but its just a band-aid and doesn't work all the time. Get a new gear.

I thought a new gear came with the sleeve and synchro?

 

maybe if you order the countershaft and mainshaft gears as a set? i just ordered the one gear by part number and it didnt include anything else.

 

I &lt;3 RTW.

He learned me sumthin 2dae.

 

that 3-4 sleeve set and 3rd gear had about 6k miles on them. the teeth on the collar are kinda rounded too

 

Engage your clutch all the way before you start to shift.

 

lol.....i also had a bad main shaft bearing(other side of Input shaft) it was all wobbly and **** might have been what cause the problem to begin with

 

From the trannys I've worked on, clutch case ISB goes first, then housing side ISB. Anytime I split a trans I replace the clutch ISB and inspect all the other bearings.

 

the ISB was replaced before expo, the other one wasnt, so im thinking thats why all this **** went bad. Im hoping that acura will hook me up with warrany gears

 

or u could call these guys to help you out

Same thing happened to me in October. ISB went, caused 3rd and 4th to eat themselves, along with the slider ring. Although my tranny was beginning to pop out of gear when I realized something wasn't right. I would also recommend inspecting the faces of 3rd gear for any grooves or wear, if you had a bearing failure, many weird things may have happened.

BTW I replaced the 3/4/5 synchro rings with the GearSpeed carbon units, along with replacement slider collar and 3rd and 4th gears, thanks to some generous H-T users for providing decent (certainly better than mine) used parts. Tranny rebuilds seriously start adding up in cost

 

yea like i said the 3rd gear was purchased back in april or may along with 2nd gear, 1-2 sleeve set, 3-4 sleeve set and countershaft bearings. im going to acura today to pick up some "special order" floor mats and too see what they can do for me for the busted parts
