hey guys is it just me or are u guys experencing trouble getting into first gear with your 99 b16a2 tranny. i was told there was a recall on the 99 b16a2 tranny, but i cant find info on it.

please dont post, no i am not having problems with my gsr, first gen b16, itr, sohc, etc. trannies. ONLY b16a2

PLEASE HELP

 

IIRC there was a recall/TSB on the synchros for the Sis, but I don't think it was for 1st gear. Try taking your foot of the clutch and putting it back in and trying if you haven't already.

I'll try to find a link to recalls and TSBs.

Ya i release the clutch slowly while im in neutral and try to put it in 1st, sometimes i get in and most times it dont. Sometimes i need to shift to 2nd then 1st, but most of the time it doesnt work so i have to go in 2nd. My 3 friends are also having the same problems with the tranny.

 

bump for night

 

you said it yourself,.you already do the things to get into first gear,..ive never heard anything on recalls for that particular tranny though,..sometimes its hard to get into first with my LS tranny,...but thats only when its really cold outside

it only works sometimes, its getting worst and worst evey time i drive it. anyone know a solution to this? is this only my b16a2 tranny?

 

I thought I was the only one experiencing this problem on my D-series tranny. Does it from time to time but mainly when the clutch isn't fully depressed. Never heard of any recall for that.

 

Have you tried changing the transmission fluid with some fresh Honda MTF?

yes

 

put in some gm synchromesh(friction modify) and post back..it helped my tranny a great deal...

 

yea try a better tranny fluid, i like how every one praises the honda mtf as being the best ...I know of two that are better already, the GM stuff and also the royal purple MTF works great, i noticed smoother shift right after I put this stuff in. "USED to run honda mtf"

Hows the clutch? my car did this once when i was at the track and my clutch was going bad. put in new clutch and was fine ever since....Note to self - Stock honda clutch and nitrous don't go good together. my tranny - 00 si b16a2

 

will try the gm, and it has a brand new excedy organic clutch. yes everything was installed right
