Hi guys ,

second , whiling driving or cruising on 4th gear , the 4th gear just popped out , it happen couple of times , not all the time tho

any ideas what wrong with it ? and how to solve the problems ?

Search next time, plenty of threads like this.

Your problem is the gearbox syncros

[trism]

First issue is synchros

Second issue could be shift linkages

Sent from my custard cannon like Peter North.

Definately need new 3rd and 4th synchro set

not happy !!

Replace the complete 3rd/4th gear synro + hub sleeve + selector sleeve. It'll come complete if you buy from Honda.

any ideas on pricing ? and labour ?

Probably looking at $800-1,000 if you pay for OEM parts + labour at a tranny mechanic.

sorry to bother you guys ,

is he a vendor or private seller ?

[dougie_504]

Private seller. If he says it's fine, then it's fine IMO. Knows his stuff well.

Otherwise B16A box is $600-900 in otherwise unknown condition.


If it was my box I'd either get an ITR box and do a hydraulic conversion, or just fix your current box because then you know it'll be sweet for a long time provided you care for it properly.
