omg read the convo, reverse do not have syncros thus it will crunch most of the time.
to avoid this engage 1st and then goto reverse and it wont happen....

acknowleged
i kinda jumpd from page 2
Yeah, engage 1st gear before you shift into reverse, as its best to line up the two gears before changing. Most FWD are like this.
Most RWD gearboxes do not have a Reverse Gear synchro either...
I wish Holinger would make a sequential 'D' or 'B' series gearbox so that we could slam every gear home and not have to worry about synchros ;)

Cant see it happening anytime soon... Holinger is mainly about drag & hd boxes which are capable of handling very high power figures, and monster torque...
It wouldnt be worth them to R&D a box for a high hp fwd, lets say civic or corolla, unless the racing scene grew larger. Its just not worth it for them, why go to all the trouble for a gearbox that will only sell 100 units a year if that!
There are a couple of places that do dog-engagement swaps for honda's though...
Pfitzner (ppg) Australia makes one for the EK,EG & DC2 ... & i think Hillman makes a dog engaging set for the EK4?
But dont expect much change from $5-6000...
Not worth it even on racing scene, would be cheaper to custom fit a C58 supra gearbox onto your car! :P
edit: Rwd gearboxes arent as susseptible to reverse crunching as they aren't parallel/direct to the drivetrain, meaning there is a |_ compared to a <> force. On L-angle boxes (ie. rwd's), the diff is more succeptible to going bang, as it is the x-over point... unlike on a fwd which is more direct to wheels (which is why there is less drivetrain loss in fwd than rear most of time) and the shockpoint (x-over) isnt at diff but at the gears themselves. This is why fwd gearboxes crunch over time.
Basically, if the clutch doesnt slip on a dump/revving change, and your synchros are out, your gears will feel it much more than any rwd gearbox.
It sounds like syncro problem, but it is a big job and expensive labour to fix it. b4 to consider the syncro, should better check:
- anything block the clutch pedal, (eg car mat)
- change your gear knob to stock one
- if u ar using short shift, change it back to stock
sometime short shift or shorter gear know may cause crunch gear.
if the problem still happen
- try to change clutch fuel
finally, i f prob still there, should check the synco or just leave it. save $$

my 3rd gear stopped crunching when i changed the g/box oil. use MTF yo!
hahahah!!! really?? does the gear knob make that much of a difference?Quote:

But than again what's the use of teeth if you can't clean them, can't find it, grind it :)
Havent crunched in the civic...YET. Reading from page one it sounds like you might want to look into the synchros.
