i've had four different b series transmissions and all of them have had grinding issues.

hey when you've got a crooked dick you learn to live with it.

* a question, i've heard that short shifters will put extra stress on the transmission since you are generally putting it in gear faster. is there any truth to this?

 

the tranny dosent grind just notchy and yea a short shifter will wear out bushings faster but i was goin to get the omni power clutch cylinder too

 

just as long as its a double bend system you should be okay. i think skunk 2 is a double. replace your shifter bushing with energy suspension crap when you change out the shifter too
it puts excess pressure on shift synchros, bearings, and fork but, not as much as any aftermarket part you put on your car. except when not installed properly or cheap machined work shifter. (ie ebay crap)
good luck

 

yes most all b-series are like that, next will be the grind! even the k swaps have a 2nd rub when cold problem. honda needs to take notes from toyota when building there trans.

 

yea so im just goin to put synchromesh in it when i put the short shifter in

 

does anyone happen to know the exact fluid capacity for that tranny off tha top of their heads?
