Metal in transmission. Are my synchros fine?
2001 Honda Civic EX - 5 Speed Manual
Whelp, I posted here a few times in regards to a noise that I kept hearing in my transmission and I can finally say that the mystery is no longer. It seems that one of the metal retainers that keeps the ball bearings in place broke and made its way out. Although I was devastated to see the metal pieces, it doesn't seem like there's any damage? None of the teeth are broken and even when the transmission was still inside the car, despite the rattling sounds from which I now presume were the ball bearings spinning freely within the bearing, there were absolutely no problems.
With that being said, can someone with a good eye take a look at my synchros and let me know if there is anything that seems out of the ordinary? I can take more pictures upon request. Thanks!
