yay!

 

Damn i still grinding a bit , which fluid did you use

 

I'm skeptical about a flush fixing a grind.

Sorry.

 

its probably just for a while and it will come back when the fluid gets thinner

 

Your Welcome!
i couldn't believe it fixed mine either, but it hasn't come back in 6 months of hard driving!

i had my car 6 months before i started getting any symptoms,
right around 45,000 miles it started grinding,
but it got so bad i thought i'd be doing tranny work/tranny swap

i'm glad it worked for you also!

 

what fluid was used? GM Syncromesh?

 

i used honda MTF- dealer prices... oh well, IT WORKED!

---just some more heads up---

i searched this problem for about a month before i did it...
i shouldn't have waited that long- it was starting to grind in other gears sometimes.
but i didn't find any shavings or anything- which was a relief!

i have heard many others say- "it will come back..."
and others replying- i change mine every 10,000 miles, and i dont have the issue...
mine has done it a few times- but only when i was in a hurry, and i forget to warm them up/lube them before driving...
if i do the 1,2,3,4,3,2,1 trick every time, its perfect!
Good Luck!

 

a complete flush like drop the tranny and everything or just changed the fluid?

 

Just a drain and fill.... i tip mine a little both ways to get more or less out

GM synchromesh Friction modified is no longer made as ive read around.

luckily, honda's new Manual transmission fluid is very much like GM's synchromesh. green bottle, white cap.

i changed the fluid in my EP with 62K miles on it and the tranny feels damn smooth and fluid. None of that notchiness that you get in 2nd n 3rd.

 

Hmm, I got to try those stuff on my 05 S

 

bump for you lol

 

Is this thread really necessary? You could have just PM'd those who helped you out, at least.

Exactly, it happened two days ago? What does it matter, does a bumped thread really disrupt this low traffic RSX/EP3 forum? Seriously, just let it go.

... Wait, I fell into your trap; I should have just let it go as well and not responded ... I’m caught in paradox now. What a hypocrite I have become.

I was about to respond back to what you had to say here until I read this below...

After reading it, I laughed, out loud.
