Icon2 Civic EK4 SiR transmission problem

hello
i have JDM EK4 Civic SiR
it was with an auto transmission
a week ago i converted this car to manual
everything is working fine but this gearbox have some problems
sometimes i cant select second gear
when i shift to second (no matter from first or from third) it seems now gear is selected but when i release clutch, car is not in second gear. its in neutral but shifter is in second gear`s position. all other gears are selected normally. at any revs. also when shifting to second gear rapidly in high revs it produces grinding or scratching sounds like broken synchros


can anyone tell my reason for that treatment?
what parts in gearbox should be replaced to fix that issue?

i am going to replace all synchros anyway but i think this is different problem

Did you open the new trans and see if it was any good? Might just be a crap trans with a busted 2nd. Or a shift fork maybe??? I got a buddy with a cobalt and his stick will do a complete circle. Lol. No shift point stops.

i thought gearbox was in good condition so i didn't open in before mounting.
shift fork is same for 1-2 gears. 1st gear doesn't have any problems

before you do anything with the transaxle get under the car, have someone go through all the gears while you check for slop in your shifter and linkage.

Synchrotech can get you the other parts you need as well. That shift change assembly is a pricey little bugger.
