Your gear syncros are wearing out.

[zone90cb7lx]

is that just as bad as a fix? i dont have my manual on me right this sec. i got an idea of what it is, someone want to gimme the down low on that?

[PUMASTi]

They can be replaced. IDK how though.

[zone90cb7lx]

cool thanx for the info...if anyone knows please chime in....i need it done asap, its my only ride....

You would have to pull the tranny and open the case. The syncros ride on the main shaft between each gear set. Its what engages the gears when you shift. The shift forks sit in a slot in the middle of each syncro and when you shift gears it either pushes a syncro forward or back depending on what gear you are going into. I havent had a Honda tranny apart but have worked on many diesel tranny's, theyre huge but the operation in basically the same. Im thinking the honda tranny probably has three syncros and if third gear is grinding then its probably the middle one, you also need to inspect that gear to make sure its engagement teeth are also not worn.

wow ok...that sounds serius, i think i get it though...its gonna cost some cash....anyone have a ballpark figure? if it alot idk maybe ill do a trany swap for a lil more....

[zone90cb7lx]

thanx agian doughnut, uve given me quite some knowlage the last week or so...

[zone90cb7lx]

bump...tryin to figure this out=/

prolly lookin at about 1000 for a rebuild i would say...very expensive..unless u plan on keeping the car forever, its prolly not worth it..i would try to find a good used trans and do it that way....when u replace synchros u need to replace all bearings,seals, and anything else that is worn in the trans when it is dissasembled....as far as price for the clutch i do em for 260..so 390 is a little high...the labor rate must be higher....just to give u an idea..

[zone90cb7lx]

holy shnikeis batman that a sh*t-ton of money, i love this car though...even though im broke,im not letting my cb7 go i find away...the a6 conversion is gonna have to wait then... so ok how bout a swap, if i buy the trani myself and have someone put it in would it be cheaper than bring it to them and charging me for the new trani? what about an h23, or f22b, is it a direct swap?(just the trani not full swap)

[92bently]

yeh more than likely way cheaper if u get it....u already have a clutch, i would do a rear main seal,and new flywheel or resurface the old one...proly lookin at 3 to 500 buck depending on where u go

[zone90cb7lx]

your refering to labor after i buy the parts on ur estimated price?

[bcjammerx]

could try some of that new manual tranny fluid...I hear it helps a lot with this issue. Won't fix it or solve it...but can reduce the crunch until you can fix it.
