Default Make synchro's last longer

I have just bought 1-2 gear synchro's for my old cable tranny. I have had to change tranny two times after a dropped in a 220 whp B20VTEC in my CRX because of this problem. I will replace the short shift kit I have with a stock shifter again and try to shift slower now. Now I thought about if I can spray the new synchro's with a product so they won't be smashed again. Anyone know what can be used?

Thanks

go to http://www.gear-speed.com they sell carbon coated syncro's

they are supposed to last longer and be better suited for higher hp engines

Can you make a DIY synchro replacment thread? I'm about to replace synchros and 5th gear in my Ys1. I'd like to know what I'm getting in to first.

Thanks for the reply's. I have looked at Gear Speed's site before but I'm in Denmark so I will try and find a place here who can do it for me.

I have a buddy to change the synchro's for me but it's not that hard if you have the right tools.

I thought there was a guy that did a write-up of the replacement of his mainshaft in his tranny; it had MANY pics, and would give a very good idea of how to get to the synchros.

Anyone remember this thread?
