Shifting problem

[Tranzilla]

I need help.

When im driving at a high speed (40mph+) especially on freeway. When i try to shift to 4 or 5th gear, i can hear a grind noise and feel some resistance shifting into gear. Sometimes it wont go in and i either let off clutch and get back on it or i have to put some force into it and try to shift into gear.

I dont know what the problem is...how do i fix it?

Sounds like maybe you have a clutch problem, or your synchros might be going out.

yeha i was gonna say syncros too, but are you pushing the clutch ALL the way down? b/c that may be the likely problem. if not just start to double clutch

That sounds like synchros because that happened to my friend in his 95 civic ex and he had to go get that replaced.

Good luck.

Where do i get synchros? dealership? and is it something i can replace on my own without any hassle? or should i let someone else handle it?

thanks guys

Dang, how fast were you going from 4th when shifting into 5th?

actually this relates to my current problem (although im leaning towards clutch master cylinder being bad cause it squeaks) but anyway... when my engine is cold ( i mean really during the winter when the temp is 50 or below) my shifting tends to feel very resistant and almost like its grinding but you don't hear that typical grinding sound when for example the clutch is not engaged. It is very hard to shift into first from a stop or slow speed and the situation does not improve until my car is completely warmed up... anybody with the same problem or have suggestions? Im gonna have the clutch master cylinder replaced in the next month by acura who did it last year and for some reason its been acting funny since they did it... go figure...

since it was the syncros being bad, it was just at high rpms

When was the last time you changed your tranny fluid? About time for me to change mine... already got 3 bottles of Honda MTF in the garage.

[rdline87ta94gsr]

I just changed the fluid and bled the clutch line (twice). Helped the problem some, but not a lot.

If your Sychros are out I suggest you upgrade your tranny. If got a GSR go for a Type-R tranny w/ LSD.
