I just dropped an 89 crx si tranny in my dx, the tranny had like 170,000 on it so i didnt know what to expect.
I also put a cm stage 3 clutch and lightweight flywheel in.
I love it ecspecially the flywheel its like a bike(wing,wing)

Anyway sometimes going into third it feels like its grinding but it goes in no problem. Its like i can feel the grind through the stick.

Any ideas maybe a clutch cable adjustment?????
Or just an old tranny???

 

Both of my crx's that i have owned did the same thing. Right now i have a 90 Si w/ 171k on it, and it does that. So did my 89 Si. I belive its common with them, just like the rip in the driver side seat

 

what fluid did you put in the tranny when you put it back together??

 

he bought the motor and tranny from you ..... heheh ..... now we know it did it before you had the tranny mike .... so dont woory about it ..... you dont need it adjusted .... my 3rd gear grinds sometimes too .... but i just power shift it so fuck it ..... i dont hear the grind ... hehe .

 

My 3rd grinds also, but it's my synchronizer goin out. It does it MOST of the time downshifting and only sometimes upshifting.

 

Great so now I get to rebuild a fuckin tranny to!!!
I guess Ill wai till the shit gets real bad and then go in!!
Thanks

 

AHEM....

 

i hope you didn't use gear oil. you are supposed to use 30 weight motor oil. i use 10w40 in mine. (98 civic ex)

 

That's what I use in my motor, Castrol GTX 10W-40 I use Red Line in the tranny and rear-end.

 

I used honda mtf!!!!!!!!
Same as oil ya know
