I got a b16 tranny and it has a grind in third gear. What can I do to fix it?

 

Rebuild your tranny. OR spend $30 on 3 qrts of GM Syncromesh. It has helped my 5th gear grind. You can only get it at the GM dealer. There is some knockoff but I cant remember what it is. Use the search for GM Snycormesh. It seems to be working well for most people with grinds.

Overhaul the tranny and replace the necessary gears and synchros.

What's the difference between the 2 numbers?
Different sizes?

 

Will this prevent future grinding?

 

The stuff works... but will only help for so long.
Grinding means the syncros (blocking rings) are wearing out.. the syncromesh will help but not fix the problem

 

Is it ok to use with a quiafe? My tranny isn't grinding yet but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to start using this?

Sounds easy but.....where do you get third gear synchros for a JDM trans?

 

rebuild your tranny or use lucas tranny oil. I used it in my tranny and the gears go in smother now.
