Thanks in advance .

I made a DIY on how to rebuild mainshaft and countershaft in a D series transmission. B may be a little different, but it will give you an idea of what you're getting into. I was only able to find syncros at the dealership (6 years ago was when I rebuilt that tranny) and the only way to get them was to buy the whole gear set. $$$

- Mon Nov 25, 2013 2:24 pm #339321 Usually more than just the "synchro" is bad when you make these types of repairs. If you have a helms manual they aren't that hard to take apart. Just make sure when you pull the stacks out you do it all at once and anything you take off make sure you lay them out on a table in that order and index which side is up. Trust me it does matter and can get confusing

- Fri Nov 29, 2013 4:15 am #339468 I wouldn't spend any extra for race quality parts.
MFactory makes and sells trans replacement parts. You'll have to take it apart first to see what you need unless you want to buy the whole master rebuild kit. That kit costs as much as a used trans, but you take a chance getting a bad trans if you go used.
When taking it apart, you can lock groups of parts together with long zip ties to make it easier to put back together.
My Integra GSR trans, ITR trans, and Civic VX trans ALL have shifting problems. 3rd gear on my roommates HX is fuckered. I'm determined to rebuild all of them myself.

- Fri Nov 29, 2013 11:59 am #339473 I'll tell you what I did as a temporary fix, I filled the tranny with 80-90 gear oil. Problem solved, shift a little thick at first (its cold) then everything is fine. I still plan on fixing the tranny though, thanks everyone.

I bought the bearings and syncro's set for my GSR.

- Fri Nov 29, 2013 8:23 pm #339488 Thanks leppy. It shifts so smooth with the gear oil (after it warms up) I'm not even in a hurry to get it done right away.
