I hear synchromesh gets better once it's cycled a few times... meaning when it's heated up and cooled down multiple times. If your synchros are completely shot, then synchromesh won't help much. It's more of a crutch than a fix.

As for the tranny eating oil, I don't think that they do under normal conditions. Are you sure that you're not leaking it out??

I think its leaking from somewhere but I haven't took a Look I am not even sure if its leaking

hopefully the synchromesh gets better as the days pass make my slight 3rd grind go away at high rpms...

My Prelude was leaking because of a bad seal where the axle goes into the tranny. I changed it immediately. No problems since then. I don't know if our cars have that seal.

maybe your tranny is ground down like mine at the bottom. it leaks a few droplets when sitting sometimes, who knows how much leaks when its rolling.
