do you crunch 3rd ?

im just wondering about 2nd - 3rd gear on civic boxes

anyone have problems doing that without crunching ???

i have that problem so does my mate .. im just wondering if neone else has that problema and what they did to fix it...

thanks in advance.

well i own a dc5, but i still crunch gears sometimes, most common is same as urs, 2nd to 3rd all the time. i think u just have to take it easy with the shifting and clutching it a bit longer, i crunch gears cos i rush my shifting

i use to crunch gears before from 2nd to 3rd, so does my mates, i thought i needed a new gearbox. but since i got my engine recond, it doesnt crunch anymore, not sure wat my mech did, but yea it's still the same gearbox..


jus double clutch it n it shouldnt crunch.. dats wat i use to do..

if your gears are crunching, perhaps could be your syncro's worn out?

must be something wrong with your gearbox,
my OLD 1988 crx gearbox NEVER crunches on any gear
:D
people who say the shortshifters screw gears up..? well i've had my short shifter in for 4 years.

Sometimes if other people drive my car and not used to it they crunch 2nd-3rd, seems they don't hold clutch deep or long enough... I've crunched it myself when I'm tired/careless once or twice...

Could be syncro wearing out.....a friend's car never had probs before from 2nd -3rd (even he shift fast at over 6000+rpm), after few track days, it crunches from 2nd - 3rd all the time when he try to shift fast over 5000rpm, so he have to shift slowly now to avoid crunches....

Anyone has the same problem???

yeah me......samn problem with my itr

try to change your gearbox and clutch oil first, it could be just dirty.
If that does not work it could be your sychro and you will need a gearbox rebuilt.

make sure u depress the clutch fully before a gear change :D

when ever i thrash mine the only crunch i get is 1st to 2nd no other gears, then again i guess my engine isnt for racing nor shifting at extreme speed so i try not to anymore.

mine crunches 1st-2nd when shifting between 3000-5000rpm so i have to either shift before 3000 or after 5000

sounds more and more like worn syncros..

let us know EG5[KRT] when u get it checked up..
