Grind into 3rd gear... HELP

[mtnbikaah]

go back to honda MTF.

when i first got my cb7 it would grind almost every time i would shift into 3rd, i would have to double clutch it when i was downshifting for it to go in. it would also grind HARD into 2nd if i reved it high in first. i thought i was going to have to get a new tranny.

flushed out the old fluid (who knows what was in there from the prev owner). put honda MTF and it worked a helluva lot better. i had to flush it out a couple of times to get all of that other stuff out.

now it just grinds into 3rd when its wiked cold out

hope that helps.

I just had my transmission rebuilt (1500 bucks!) and my car grinds SOME TIMES when i run it hard from first to second. And always from second to fifth. Yes I sometimes skip gears. Second pulls me to 70 and trying to go into fifth from second I have to hit either fourth or third (or just wait for my RPM's to go down) first even if I don't let off of the clutch before I go into fifth. The transmission is just spinning to quickly.

you kidding me, i can pick up an rebuilt tranny in portland (oregon) for only 500 bucks. my family is use to working with cars so we just put them in ourselves.
