btw i have it in a 1991 crx and the engine is jdm

 

My best guess would be syncros. probably not completely bad... but worn. Its pretty common

 

thanx for advice

 

My tranny did the exact same thing. It completely went away with a bottle of synchromesh and Royal Puple oil.

 

where can i get a bottle of syncromesh?

 

I found mine at Pepboys. It's made by Pennzoil

 

would like to hear if the syncromesh works for you.

 

I did 1 quart syncromesh and rest OE Fluid. Works great.

 

We have the AMSOIL synchromesh at my work, now that this topic came up we're gonna try it in my friend's tranny instead of replacing the synchros as we had originally planned.

 

do i have to go to chevy to get that fluid

You can go to your local Pepboys and buy Pennzoil Synchromesh.

 

i went and they had none

 

Did you try Kragen? GM might have some but it's probably gonna be more expensive.

 

do what i did i took the tranny apart and took the rounded edge off and made them sharp agan i used a super flat thin file took me 4 hours but after words it shifts like a dream only thing u cant fix is the shift collers there a halo type ring with teeth on the inside if thoes are messed up bad then u need a rebuild if not u can get away with fileing them

 

mine did the same. just replaced the old tranny fluid with honda mtf

 

sounds good i might need some of this in my tranny

 

ok i got the stuff but i dont have a dip stick and i dunno how much it needs i think i have to much because i could shift at higher rpm,s but still mild grind

 

The oil takes a while to coat your synchros. If I remember correctly, it took about 2 weeks for the grinding to go away completely.

I just did a full tranny fluid change using Honda MTF. My trans is a JDM YS1 and it had a third gear grind which wasn't even subtle at low speeds.

It took me about 5 days of solid driving for the transmission to feel like my S2000's (nice and smooth)

Next time I may give the synchromesh a shot - but for now Honda Genuine does it for me

 

how much oil does the tranny hold? and for the royal purple did you use 10w30 motor oil? thaks iam about to do this

 

I used 10w30 royal purple and one bottle of Synchromesh.

 

how many bottles of the royal purple? right now i have like 1 1/5 bottles of honda mtf and like 3/4 of the penzoil syncromesh

 

If I remember correctly, you need to put in 2 quarts. I added one quart of Synchromesh and one quart of Royal Purple 10W30

 

Well if you wana try it out andits not your daily driver you can just put in the syncromesh and see if that works if not then pull the tranny out and replace your syncros or shave em sharp which is what i would do its the safest and best bet
