I just picked up this 87 CRX Si last night. It grinds every gear unless i let the rpms drop to about 2500. Im going to adjust the clutc cable but I know the fluid hasnt been changed leightly so I am going to run out and get fluid.

When I had a 96 integra a couple years back, I had a 3rd gear whine. I followed some advice and ended up using 1 Qt (or more?) of GM Synchromesh in the tranny. Wow - it got rid of the grind 100%. Dunno if that stuff is safe to use in this tranny or not though..

What do you guys do? Car is stock with 145k miles. 5 spd.

 

Safety feature in the tranny to prevent racing or normal driving

 

And speeding tickets! I got the evo to drive fast in but getting on to the freeway could be treacherous come monday morning

Im goign to try GM synchromesh.

But its a CRX! My crx is too old for this one??

 

Yes, that's why the link was posted.

 

So with that logic a 1970's Civic is the same as a 2000's? Interesting logic... I posted the link because people here usually don't mess around with the 3 generations - you will get more knowledgable help there...

 

my advise ALWAYS RUN HONDA FLUID . change fluid thats the easy solution .then go from there

 

my bad im still stuck in evo land. They made it simple for us. You have an Evo #. # represents the generation of evo. I didnt realize my crx was classic All CRXs are classic to me Thanks mods..
