3rd grinds

That's your typical honda for ya. Most all honda trannys will grind at least a little bit. Have you ever changed the transmission oil? I've found in the past that changing the transmission fluid will help smooth things out. Especially when it hasn't been changed for a while.
Get some honda MTF (manual transmission fluid) and drain and refill it. Believe me it will make a very noticeable difference.
Amsoil also makes some very good manual transmission fluid. and I plan to try that out next time I get the chance to change the oil in the tranny.

I would also try changing your trans. oil first with Honda MTF, but if you have alot of miles on your car (around 150,000) your sycros may be going bad. Also, I have done alot of reading on fluids for our hondas, and it seems that the Honda MTF is the best thing out there for our trannys, including racing applications."I can imagine no more rewarding a career.

I can tell you how to fix it. Mine was REALLY bad in 2nd and 3rd (had200 thou on it). Put some straight 30 or 50 weight oil in it. Thats all i did, and it COMPLETLEY stoped grinding. I can slam 2nd and 3rd at redline and it wont even catch a little. It may sound odd, but just put really thick oil in it. It kinda works as a spacer, making up for the little space that had worn off the syncros. I thought i was in for a new tranny, so i just said fuck it and put the oil in. Its been 30 thousand miles and havent had a problen yet! Works like a charm!
Oh yeah, it'll take a little longer to warm up in the colder months that normal.
