Because........
You can outshift the tranny with the stock shifter.
Pushing is easier than pulling.
No means no!
If it won't go in, don't force it, and your gears won't grind.

uh, cuz the syncros wear out.
This happens a lot w/Honda cable series trannies for some reason.

Re: Why do Hondas grind in third gear? (Mr. S)
yea, if you change the hub and synchro ring it will not be there...
you actually need to learn how to shift so that it wont grind.
if you wait a beat at the top of 2nd, you wont grind third. if it
still does, changing the hub and ring will become eminent soon.
