cant keep it in 3rd gear?

Samething is happening on my 2000 lude. Only grinds when im shifting from redline not from normal driving. How much does a cost to replace the synchros?

i like that one.
i used to use the word rub because i didnt want to say grind
if its shooting out of gear i would say the synchros are shot.
Other than that i would say try some different tranny fluid.
thats how i got rid of my 3rd gear "scratch".

GM SYNCROMESH works wonders

I hate any kind of grinding noise from the tranny -=/. Specially when shifting quick and it doesn't go in ....ouchh.... But yea I'll say the same from what I've been told...Synchros...

A buddy of mine has gears for your tranny, you'd need to have it removed and split though. (good time to buy a Quaife?) Email me for his info. My 93 Prelude does the same thing, GM Synchromesh fluid helped some.

Re: (jdmh22lude)
rebuilding and adding a quaife would be the ideal, helps to put the power to the ground
good luck
