Yeah, engage 1st gear before you grab reverse. It will line up the secondary gearbox shaft and stop you from crunching gears. Just keep the clutch in while you go from 1st gear, thru neutral and into reverse and it should be sweet
cool =D very much appreciated
anyone know how much a G/b Rebuild usually cost or is it cheaper to get a second hand G/b?
depending on g/box, second hand is usually cheaper, however you still run the risk of buying a g/box that is on the way outQuote:

Gearbox rebuilds are not for the feint hearted. Expect to pay a few hundred dollars for new bearings and synchros + labour for removal and rebuild.
just for bearings in one of the gears was like 500$ best off getting a new gearbox
There is a special gearbox oil you can buy which stops crunching...
Had this problem on the old corolla C52 gearbox... and those who know about toyotas and gearboxes will know how good toyota boxes are...
Anyway, had crunching in almost every gear for a year, when one day was at the lights in sylvania near maccas, changed from nuetral to 1st, and BANG, ceased up!...
funny thing was, we somehow engaged 3rd, and drove down king georges road, non-stop at 4am, red lights and all (thank god the camera'd ones were green) all the way home...
Ill get the name of the gearbox oil for you...
thanks man might try that before i get a whole new G/B
Ok try this,
1 - Check your clutch & master slave cyls for any leaks etc (transmission fluid as well - thick & green shit). If they need topping up, then top them up. Try it again. Still doing this? next step...
2 - Does your clutch feel tacky? when you push the clutch down & up does it feel like you are hitting any weak spots while it moves? This might be something to do with the Hydraulic clutch lines. not too sure on the crx as i just bought one myself, but common sense would tell me its either a fluid or cable problem, which would affect the clutch from engaging and causing a crunch. If this is what you feel check with a mechanic or even better a honda dealer. If they say it is damage synchro's, which it probably will be, next step.
3 - Chuck in some Redline MT90 (equivalent motul b16a gearbox oil).
4 (Last resort, Crunching like crazy) - You could also add Automatic gearbox oil (which is thinner - more friction -> slows down synchros quicker) which will fix the problem completely, but is only temporary, as it will end up wearing the gears & synchros at a much faster rate. Like i said, this is only when it starts to get REALLY bad, like in my corolla situation, and you need to hold out for the next couple of months due to lack of funds or your just a tightarse, this is a technique used by weekend track racers, who go break gearboxes on a regular basis...
Personally, id get some redline oil (If there is a suitable one for these weak boxes!), chuck it in there, and if it gets worse, start to double clutch (honestly). Take it easy on the +5500rpm changes in these, as its either the gearbox or clutch that feels the pain...
myn only gets crunching in reverse
all other gears seem fine
