Awww great, did they really stop making full trannys?? grrr
I know I just need synchros, but I was hoping to get a new whole 1 under warrenty.. I was going to untill the dealer found out they were on back order/or whatever... 1 week to fix my tranny they said. I dont like the fact that my car will probally be sitting out in the open for a week to be stripped of parts...
Get new synchros.

if its done by dealer they may still have a few tranny's floating around...
but afaik, they stopped producing full trannys, though you can still buy the pieces.

I think what Soup Nerd was referring to is Spoon who apparently no longer sells their B tranny.
Hondas are just on backorder, and I highly doubt they'd stop making major components for the car when there's plenty of them out there that still have over 5 years warranty left.
[e]Fwiw, a dealer told my buddy the other day that they "could order him one but it would take awhile."

There you go, you could always throw a Spoon tranny on there if you're worried. Maybe if you ask your dealer real nice-like they'll toss one in for ya.
If the thread that was posted a couple weeks ago was true, there won't be many more of them around. (spoon trannies)

I think backorders on ITR blocks, trannies, and other parts are going to become a lot more common.
I would imagine Honda is shifting its focus away from the older stuff and focusing its production resources on the current models/engines.

Just wondering what you had rebuilt? I had the same problem with my 99 Si(R) and they replaced a **** load of bearings and synchros.. i think it had something to do with the input shaft bearing going first.. and this was with only 65000km on the car..
