replacing gear box in ej8

[Toycivic]

gearbox in my car seems alil funny, ive got some sort of button clutch in it already but its not heavy but very grippy. everything was working fine until a few weeks ago, now when i shift quikly at hi rpm i can hear my gearbox crunching. not to sure wats going on so ive bought another gearbox and hd clutch kit. just wondering if i should change the whole box or can i recondition the one ive got now, the box ive bought is from a gli civic, does the gear ratios vary, still not certain if i should go for the whole swap. any advice will be great.

i think its got different gear ratios

should try replacing mtf with oem before going to expensive solutions ..

Aren't they both s40 gearboxes?

yeah ive changed it and its the same thing. ive got the clutch and gearbox already. just wondering if my current gearbox is better and worth keeping. if not ill swap it out for the other gearbox

I'm pretty sure the EJ8 has closer ratio's then the GLI box, BUT you might want to double check that.
