its expensive to replace syncros if u buy from honda... double clutch if needed....

make sure there is honda mtf in there, or you can try GM Synchromesh tranny fluid, some people claim to loose the 3rd gear grind from it... depends how bad it is

PM GearSpeedEF9 on this board. He can direct you to the nearest distributor.

I believe the prices went up recently. But still cheaper than if you went to a dealership to get the parts. Plus they are carbon coated.
