Synchro is probably taking a **** on you. No remedy but to change it or granny shift. Changing your tranny fluid will help but won't fix your problem.

Yes, definitely a common problem. Change your tranny oil if you haven't recently. That has been known to help.

Some people also claim that using GM Syncromesh instead of Honda MTF cures such grinds (try searching archived topics in this forum for "syncromesh" -- there have been several threads).
