Seems like when ever im racing and i shift into 2nd it grinds and wont go in!!!!


This happens alot but not all the time. When im racing and i go to switch into 2nd it grinds bad and wont go in. I even made sure i was pressing the clutch all the way down. I dont know what it is its really making me mad.

please help

 

I'm sure as anyone can tell you here, your syncro is going bad. My third to fourth shift in high rpm does the exact samething. A temporary possible fix without dropping your transmission is to switch the fluid to GM Syncromesh. It helped with my grind, but I know it will eventually come back.

 

I'm in the same boat w/my 2nd gear grinding on high rpm, but it goes in. I switched to GM Synchromesh...shifts smooth but only driven 150miles, but still a 2nd gear grind. Its not 100% all grinds will be fixed though.

 

so to really fix the problem what would u have to do and is it expensive

 

my tranny is wierd....
some times when i shift into 2nd it wont go in, but that's only when i'm shifting around 4000 to 5000 rpm....
But when i shift around 7000 rpm it goes into 2nd nice and smoothly
i can't really figure out y the **** it does this, b/c 2nd rarely grinds, and when it does grind i'm goin slow, maybe i suck @ driving slow .......cuz my tranny seems perfect when i'm goin fast and shiftin @ 7k

i hate the ls tranny anyways....but hopefully i will beable to get an itr tranny this year.....

 

syncro or your clutch

 

i jsut got a brand new Exedy Organic Clutch in.


so what do i have to do to stop the grind

 

ive got the same clutch

it sounds like you may have to replace your synchro witch i dont think is particularly cheap

 

the same thing happened to me when i got a new clutch. All i did was practice shiting slower so that it wont grind and then work it up to shift fast. I don't know but it worked for me.

 

Sounds like syncro to me too! That sucks! popular problem with honda transmissions.

 

I'd say best bet: try to score a newer tranny.

 

i have the same problem ..... syncro

 

Switching to the Honda MTF did wonders for my shifting. It felt like a whole new tranny!

 

if it is your syncro which it sounds like you have to pull the transaxle and replace the syncro for that gear...in other words take it to a shop and have the tranny rebuilt

 

DOUBLE CLUTCH!

Or failing that rev match

 

Changing your transmission fluid may help out if you haven't done that in a while.

If I was you, I would just stick with the tranny right now. Maybe throw some GM syncromesh in there and let that do its trick. But all in all, eventually that syncro will come back to haunt you. I say start saving your cash right now and use it as an excuse to get a ITR tranny. I had an ITR tranny before I went turbo and I will tell you that it made a night and day difference (especially with the LSD and FD).

If you don't have the money for that then looks like your stuck with a rebuild. Its not cheap......

 

my 2nd gear used to grind and not go in every now and then when pushing it hard. I replaced the tranny fluid and it still did it. Then later added some shifter bushings and engine torque mount inserts(mine were in really bad condition)... no more engine flex... bingo! Check your bushings before you assume it's the synchro!

same thing with my crx. did occaisional 2nd gear grind when pushing it hard. added engine mount inserts (again the mounts were really worn) and shifter bushings and no more grinds.

this helps? haha, sorry had to...

 

just wondering, but do LSD trannys have the same problem with the synchros as the gs-r and ls ones?
