its just a patch up solution which doesnt actually fix anything. if anything it just prolongs the damage.

crunching gears means your syncro is blocking up and not releasing properly, you dont have to rebuild the whole box just the gear that crunches, normally you screw them up by not shifting properly eg: pushing the clutch in half way and throwing the gear in before your clutch has fully released, i have a euro version of holden vectra and i screwed up my third gear syncro all they did was reconditiond the 3rd gear syncro and it didnt do it anymore, but if u crunch its the syncro. but i have a crx aswell now and i put in a dog box so i dont have that problem at all
well if you have the money to recondition your g/box then go for itQuote:

yeh i was going to have a Exedy HD clutch fitted but i was screwed over by the guys i was buying it off and then another dude ordered in the wrong part twice
ive driven a couple of cars with a very heavy clutch, giving you very little movement with the left foot, it just takes time to get used to it, dont just drop it, ease is out really slowly, then when you've gotten used to the clutch you can start to shorten and quicken your clutch work
This happens to my dc2 with b16 y21 box, 2nd to 3rd crunches 90% of the time, even when I take it slow. It's smooth as butter when I shift without clutch when the engine is off though. And it only happens for 2nd to 3rd. All other gears are smooth. I'm thinking it's synchro due to the other gears being fine?
My 2nd crunches... but that's cause the syncro is ****ed. Happens in a '77 car that's been through two L and P platers. I do crunch 3rd sometimes, but only when I'm slamming it in gear >.>
The clutch must be worn out cause thats happening to mine too, i had my car sine 134K kms and now it done 180K kms and its starting to crunch and i never changed the clutch yet. And can you hear your thrust bearing?
It could be other minor/major things as wellQuote:

My old gearbox use to crunch 3,4,5. I changed the oil to OEM Honda MTF and I never got one issue since that day, massive relief.
Hmmm, I shall try that. My clutch also makes a bit of a metallic whirring/chattering right before it engages, could be thrust bearing?
