cad843,
usually crunching problem w Honda gearboxes r mostly caused by sychros......& to untrained eyes,usually u won know wat's wrong or whc synchros is spoilt..leave 2 a competent mechanic.....
I will send over to experience mechanic later to check my gb, but Im planning to change together with release bearing. Any advise for other wear & tear parts inside gb that I should check together? 1 more thing, that copper ring can be change or not?
