my car goes into gear kinda rough somtimes... and third usually grinds a little.

its a 90 civic DX hatch 5 speed. take a look and let me know what you think is wrong this part apeared to have oil dripping off it..

 

when was the last time you changed your tranny fluid ?

 

dont know, but i can tell you forsure it hasent been done it 2 years.

i think im gona have to do it when i replace the axel in the next few days.. what kinda oil do i use anyways?

 

i would recommend doing that first and see if it helps at all

well i would say either regular 10w30, honda mtf, or gm syncromesh friction modified. theres a big debate on which one is the best.

how is the shifter, does it have alot of play in it ?

 

I used Honda MTF, made a big difference.

Honda MTF has been known to help with some of the grinds that we get on our old trannies.

 

My tranny grinds when I shift hard into second and makes a nasty sound sometimes when i go into reverse. anyone else have this problem?

Where can i get this Honda MTF. How much is it?

 

Any Honda dealer will carry it. Prices will vary a bit most likely.

 

change the bushing on the shifter seal. Good luck with the PITA pin.

 

Definately change the fluid with good ole honda MTF.

Haha, a trick I learned was when you knock the pin out with some tap thing, put a rag on the top of it to catch the pin with it, that way you don't have to use a new one, but you may want to get a new one anyways.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by spyz34 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">makes a nasty sound sometimes when i go into reverse. anyone else have this problem?</TD></TR></TABLE>
Sounds like just the normal nasty straight into reverse honda sound, try goin into fourth, then reverse.

 

Since your tranny grinds, use GM syncromesh, it works wonders. Make sure you change some of the seals, maybe the fluid is leaking?

 

thanks for the info..

if i shift hard my whole car shakes hard into gear.. its abused. what is that shiney metal part that goes around the thing you can see? mine looks f'ed up. i got the nasty into reverse and 3rd grind. im gona change it when i put my axel in. how much is honda mtf?
