Buy Omniman's 200hp B16a DVD it has ~2 hrs worth of footage which walks you through changing synchros, installing LSD, etc :thumbsup:

Just a thought if you like DIY or want to save money on labour costs

And here it is..... Thicker oil may temporarily hide the problem, but ultimately the synchros will need to be replaced

changing to thicker oil fix it for a very short time of period. We use castrol syntrax, very good oil. Never had a problem with it on all our cars.

I put redline in..
still playing up..
looks like it 1500 to fix synchro and service or wait till a ITR box pops up..
cause i could get LSD fitted at same time but thats another 700 for LSD.
Plus all i know is the box came from a CRX, dont know the model number i dont wanna buy the wrong LSD and then it wont fit:(

did u just put redline in it? if so give it a few days or tops 1wk and see how it goes..

as when i put my redline in ...i waited for 1week for the oil to sink in and the frictions to to its job.. then it was fine..
