Shift noises

[BkzTafetta]

So..i've got my mechanic to put new axles...i started getting the noises that other guys on here were having...the growling/vibrating noises on while in gear and when i let go the clutch...that has just disappeared on its own i dont know how or why...the point is now i get gonks and clunks every time i shift....mostly 1st..2nd..3rd and it gets super hard to put it into gear as if i had no oil...which i just filled up when i had the axles swapped...what can this be? i know but clutch is stock and almost ready to go...besides that...i dont know of anything else that could b wrong with the tranny since i just did the 5sp swap...

bad clutch. warped syncros

Sounds like the syncros could be going bad.

 

[BkzTafetta]

synchros...meaning my 1st 2nd and 3rd gears correct?

Did you have the axles replaced at a Honda dealership?

If not, replace whatever oil is in your tranny with Genuine Honda Fluid, or even better GM Syncromesh Fluid.

 

[BkzTafetta]

well..i only had lik a quart and a half of Genuine Honda Fluid and then the rest was JDM LSD fluid...which i think is causing that...and no i dont have lsd....i just thought it would b good since its a very fine fluid..

Drain it and re-fill it with either of the two fluids I listed and take it for a drive. If it doesn't shift smoother than your looking at something a lot more difficult to fix

How many miles are on your tranny? The syncros on my 4th gen went at around 300,000km. Pretty good since I was the 4th owner and I learned to drive stick with it.

ok...that will b done lol....well im not sure i bought the tranny used im guessing under than 140k cuz the guy barely drove the car...

i changed axles my self and didnt get a problem ....i get vibration and stuff sometimes but i know i need some new engine mounts possibly tranny as well maybe you need to change a mount ....or it can be the clutch.....btw i pass by your house thursday morning last week no cars where in the drive way so i kept it moving lol

 

[BkzTafetta]

yea i didnt even have time to do anything myself....i do have to change the clutch badly though before winter comes....i dont mean vibrations though i mean like clunks and stuff everytime the clutches engages..whether i engage it hard or soft...still the same sound.
