sometimes wen im going like past 4rpm, my fifth gear doesn't go in well... it makes sorta of a grinding sound wen it gets into fifth.. ne one know whyy?

1994h22lude

sounds like a bad synchro

jpprelude

I know on the H23 the shift fork is a little off, so when you try to shift into fifth at high RPM, it will grind. Might be the same for you. I know of a lot of people with this problem, and I think Honda put out a TSB for it.

VeeTec

If its grinding, its more than likely the synchros.

Let us know what turns up.

whats the syncrohz? and i have a 96 prelude vtec but i just got a new transmission in it.... if my fifth gear doesn't go in well could it meant that the mechanics mite have not put in a vtec trans.?

VeeTec

If its not the VTEC transmission the rpms will be lower at highway speeds. The Si tranny bolts right up to the H22, but it should have a code on the transmission case itself that you can cross reference.

i'll give a couple examples other than syncros...

pressure plate torqued too tight

sticking pressure plate fingers...rare

disc too thick...yes, even new.

dirty ass gears


i've read about 2 of the four and have experienced the other two. the dirty ass gears was my 2.3 tranny. grinded 3rd at all speeds. not too harsh that i couldn't get it in, but enough to scare me. i pulled it apart, didn't see anything wrong. i just cleaned it up real nice nice, lubed and put her back in. same clutch, blah blah. no grind. i figure there was some metal in the tooth channels of the collar sleeves or syncro keeping the collar from sliding up/down smooth.

good luck
