Transmission grinding causes?

[dc2-forshizzle]

Hi guys,

I have a slight problem with my integra vti-r. Only during sprited driving, I've noticed that during gear changes, particulary 2nd to 3rd gear, the transmission grinds (I can feel the speed of the cogs shifting) as I shift. Doesn't make much noise though. Does not happen during normal driving. Also notice that its hard to get into 1st gear at times (not all the time) unless the clutch is fully pressed in to the floor. Any ideas as to whats the cause? I've searched but got no solid answers. Best case scenario, the gearbox oil needs replacing (not sure when it was last changed) or another thing could be the 2nd or 3rd gear sycros. Has anyone had similar problems?

Cheers,

never had that problem when i have my teg, as you have mentioned i would first change the gearbox oil with some genuine mtf. i have heard from several members here the new honda mtf 06 is great stuff. try that first especially considering you don't know when it was last done.

well i have had the same prob... put some gear oil in and its still the same... i think ur clutch is at its final stage... symptoms of clutch being worn out!!!

No definately not a clutch problem, clutch only 10,000km's old!

bad shifting ?

When you shift, you should press the clutch all the way to the floor.

If it is only in 2nd to 3rd shifts, then it is probably the synchros.

its ur synchrose and possibly ur clutch. Bout 3weeks ago i had the exactly same thing happen to my dc2r. From 2nd to 3rd it grinded. Deffenetly ur synchrose man.
In the end i woke up one morning and could not even put it to reverse, like my synchrose were gooone. Took it to machanics and they said my synchrose and my clutch was gooone, and had to import da parts from japan. So i've bin off da rd eva since buh get it bak next wed.

Hope dat helped.

[xntrik]

When did you last get your transmission fluid changed?
And what clutch do you have?
