Shifting problem

[pbaceofspades]

When i shift into 3rd almost everytime it grinds a litttle. What can i do to fix this until install a shift kit or other mod.

As far as I know that would be your synchros going out or going bad or whatever lol. Does it do it when you shift into third slowly or just when you're shifting fast or all the time? Mine does it when I try to shift quick but if I shift slower it won't do it at all.

this happens to me at times also. what did seem to cure it just a little bit was to change the transmission oil with Genuine Honda Transmission Fluid. They only run about 7 bucks a quart and is what Honda recommends you put in there. For only 7 dollars i say go and do that, i did it and my car shifts into gears like butter. i haven't had that grind in third gear just yet, hoping it wont either but it seemed to fix my hard shifting issue that i used to have.
