my car needs somting fix in my tranny, this is what happen when ever i race i shift into 3rd gear it grinds but then when i drive normal it grinds only some time i was wondering if its my syncro and how much would it take to fix it?

 

Sounds like you missed third gear one too many times. Call a trans shop or your local Honda dealer. I'd say the third gear cluster/syncro is shot. When mine was done under warranty , the total tab Honda ate was a little over $1000, parts and labor, and they replaced my entire 3rd gear assy.

 

if it costs that much, mind as well find a used tranny for like 450 and put it in yourself

 

It will be cheaper to just swap in another tranny. Look for any 92-00 civic EX (or 92-95 SI) tranny. A tranny rebuild is costly tho, but on the other hand, nothing beats a freshly rebuilt trans . See what you can find in your area.

 

Hell yeah. For $1000, you could have spares . Then you could build one, put one in the car, and have one for backup.

Agreed.

 

Yep! I've got a VX trans in the DD, an EX with fresh bearings in the "race car", an si sitting stand-by, and another EX needs a couple parts. Keep spares if you're hard on your stuff!

BTW, ever thought about stiffening up your motor mounts first before replacing a whole tranny?

 

does it really cost that much because what i heard was that its a little of 300.00 because even if i get a new gsr tranny and ask a shop to put it in it wont even cost that much..... plus i have another fourm about my gas gauge anyone know whats wrong because my gauge just stop working at a point and now it doesnt even read it stop at mid point tho?? does it just need a gauge or does it need a fuel pump work

A brand new GSR trans is over $1000 easy. I priced out a brand new ITR trans and Acura wants $1800.
