ps. this is my first post on this or any import board so just want to say hello too. I've just switched from the domestics to my first import. was just too tired of geting 10 miles to the gallon.

99% sure its syncros.

And welcome to the boards

So funny you said that !! I never had a single problem with third gear on any of my hondas but ALLWAYS on my domestics..! In my case it's more second gear that is sometime hard to shift at high RPM (8000+).

 

does anyone know that it runs on these cars to have fixed.

oh and 92 typer, ill take a dos XX thanks you, not the amber either dammit.

 

my buddy has a tyype r and the same thing happens only in third. he had synchros fixed.,.. nothing.. third gear changed...nothing. it is a 2000 and still to this day it still grinds. he is afraid to take it to anywhere else than acura b/c might void 7 year warrenty. already went through 3 third gears. i would also like to hear of any suggestions

 

I have a 2001 ITR and the fvcker always grinds into third. I have had it fixed by the dearlership and the dam thing still grinds. I would say try putting some GM syncro mesh in it maybe that will help.

 

make sure you're depressing the clutch pedal all the way to the floor when shifting... that might help.

also, like someone else mentioned, try changing your tranmission fluid. Honda MTF should be fine.

 

I was just about to say that. As long as the clutch is down my guess is syncros. But I really don't know.
