guess what guys..... today getting on the On-ramp for the highway.. there was too many cars behind me so i floor it.... when i shift from 2nd to 3rd i big grindin noise started.... tried few gears... but nuttin/.... tranny ******* broke....... its the same way when i broke the Si one.... stuck on 2nd....
yesterday it started to kick me off 2nd.... so i guess i broke that selector fork also.....
i got the worst tranny luck..... my 3rd tranny, broke within a yr....
anyways... im glad i had the Si fixed last week.... but i got a questions to anybody that has worked on trannys.. did u ever encounter problems with getting R in?? i put the tranny togheter but seems that R its not there.... so i opened it again and reaadjusted the R gear arm thingy.... i have to wat til tomrrow morning to put more Hondabond and see fi it then works.....
i am all pist i had to vent out....

 

Man Im sorry that sucks. I hate takin the tranny out then putting it back in... 3 times in a year no less! Hope the Si tranny doesnt give you any fits... Good Luck

no i have been using what Honda recomends
Valvoline 10w-30

 

You should go to the dealer and buy Honda MT fluid. Did you move the selector hub to 4th gear when you put in the reverse idler gear? Well i just rebuilt an Y1 and S1 90-91 trans. If you need help just ask. I'm currently rebuilding 2 S1 trans. Personally I find it easy to rebuild them. Write me back and I will send you pics and guides.

not my post, but what parts did you use to rebuild the Y1 tranny?

 

k i got the tranny done.. there was a few mistakes that can be easily done.... the 5th gear synchro hub was positioned wrong..... also i didnt noticed that the 3rd gear synchro ring was bent..... after swaping those.... the tranny got completely fixed...
now..i have a veryyyyyyy important problem.....the pinion shaft of the differential it s absolutely worn out.... its soo bad that i have to drive like a grandma til i can get a new si tranny or find a way of fixin the differential...
i will love to have a quaife..... but damn.... i cant afford 800 right now.... i was thinking of the phantom grip.... its only 200, but i dont want a tru LSD&gt;.. either a new diff or something.... and with a phantom. might not be the best ****, but at least will be a new diff....someting that can take that biach fixed enouhg for normal driving....
anyways i want some input in the phantom grip as a replacement fo r a stock diff....thanxs
