well i was racing some accord 5 speed it was on a roll. welp i shift up to third and it starts grinding so i try to put it into 5th and still the same thing then finally it goes in. i swear i was slamming the clutch while doing this. is it me or is it tranny fluid or syncros. i dunno. well when i down shift from 5th at 2 rpm down to third it will grind while im slamming the clutch. but it wont, if i rev it around the correct rpm around 5 around there.

oh and i still beat the accord. hehe. plz someone help.

I think you just suck, but try changing fluid.

Redline MT-90, baby. No more grinding.

I still get grinding even with redline. I guess my tranny wants to take a **** on me

SYNCHROS!!!

My old n/a used to do that. When it happens release the clutch and then put it in again and put 'er into gear again. My syncro's were a tad messed up but they werent too bad either.

Put redline mt-90 into your tranny, lsd additive for your lsd. Also, when you are throwing a shift from like 5th to 3rd rev match, and dont slam the shifter. Just shift it quickly.

ya dude that's your syncro's i used to have to rev up my dad's 90 vert to downshift.

I always heard that if your going to down shift and skip a gear you should be double clutching, clutch once in between in neutral, this true?

skyypilot

Just match RPMs and you don't have to double clutch, unless your syncros are shot!

im using a n/a tranny and have a 13b turbo engine, my car use to the exact same thing, when i rebuilt it, i put a brass button clutch and a one tonne pressure plate, and no longer cruncher or grindes in any gear or rev.

trans maybe shitting on you redline 90 man

double clutch or match rpm. Even if your synchros are good it's still easier on them to match the rpm before shifting.
