do you crunch 3rd ?

yeh same happend on my old gear box...most likely synchros are gone but get it replaced with honda OEM gearbox fluid b4 u change it...it could fix it up..it fixed my 1st to 2nd but not the 2nd to 3rd

mine does the same when ever i go into 3rd, the only way i found to get it into gear without crunching was to double clucth 2nd to 3rd and rev match from 4th to 3rd
most likely syncro's are worn, but change ur MTF first with the MTF from honda,
know to solve problem, before u do a reco or new g/b. mine is too far gone for MTF change, crunches every time, im gettin new/used/reco g/b whatevers cheaper, anyone know prices???

yeah thats what i was thinking the synchros mite be ****ed .. i dotn think it would b oil coz if so all gears would crunch...

but yeah im not too sure yet .. will do the oil change first since im gonna do a service on it.. then if that dont solve the problem will do a clutch change and check the gear box out over the xmas holidays...

has neone heard of a civic with dog box ???

lol yeh civic drag cars in the states...

my car does it, i think just take it easier, first thing i thought was the syncros :)

i own a eg civic and crunches from 2nd to 3 rd as well

i just change gears slower and its alright

i think its the bearings or synros

im thinking it mite also b a selector fork ....

so im thinking xmas time ill strip bak the box and c what could b the problem.

My 3rd crunches also...

mine also crunches from 2nd to 3rd... even up a hill, if i try and take it easy it still crunches.

man my gearbox only crunches like hardddd when i chuck it from idol speed into reverse its gay badly

huynh12345: There are no synchros on reverse, so engage 1st gear before grabbing reverse and it should fix it.

Yep sounds like synchros, used to happen with my civic but its fine now after a gearbox recond
