why did u use the gearbox breather hole to fill it up ? Probably a big gulp got stuck in there with a big airbubble and blew it all out again = not enough fluid. There is a few good resources about PROPERLY filling up gearbox - including the DIY i did very recently - look -

Name: david
i am rebuilding a Honda Integra Type R gearbox and retaining the OEM helical "gear type" LSD. which redline shockproof oil will be best for it? if any?]


i got RedLine to tell me in writing that they recommended Lightweight shockproof.
But in his email he said to make sure you had gear style LSD. To me this means not syncros, but dog gears. It's the style we use in formula cars, no need for a clutch as long as the car is moving. He should have gone into more detail but you should have been way more detailed in your question, also a little research would have left you knowing not to use the Shockproof, says not to on the site unless you have the dog gears. The fluild didn't fail, it was just used incorrectly. This resulted in the syncros to fail early. But at the same time I doubt it targeted just the 3rd gear. We find most transmission failures are a result of the driver, even when the builder put the wrong fluid in or too much in.
