Changing gears

[RBR_01]

i have a shortshift kit in my civic coupe, when i change into 3rd gear it doesnt bite as well and it makes a crnnnnk!! (when racing) sounds which i asume that is not normal. gearbox problems? clutch? help?

Does it hit the plastic trim when you shift? A friends did and we had to customize the trim piece. Check the bolts and make sure none are loose too.

no it doesnt hit the plastic trim. when u change gears to 3rd and if u do it like slowly then its ok

Sounds like synchros then. Short shift kits make it too easy to slam gears, thus putting more stress on the synchros.

the short shifter has taken its toll
