I just bought a 92 GSR. I already grinds a little going into third. I would like to rebuild it and install a set of carbon coated synchros from Gear Speed. So, I have a few questions.

Do I need any special tools to rebuild the transmission? Keep in mind I was a mechanic for a few years so I have lots of tools. Basically, are there any special fixtures and such that I need to get the job done?

Do YS1s typically require an entire bearing kit? The car only has 112k on the clock. If so, where would you suggest getting them from?

 

all u need is a gear puller
bearings are at your local honda

 

Thanks Ravage. Well then it sounds like I need to get some loot to pay for parts.

 

dood, put some syncromesh in it and call it a day, it will stop grinding. that and a magnetic drain plug, and u have a minty tranny again. you dont need ------- carbon coated syncros. YOU ARE THROWING AWAY MONEY

Get the bearings from Gearspeed as well. I think you can get all the synchros, bearings, and seals for like $400. Also make sure you check all the clearances.

 

Thanks for the replies guys. I might try adding the synchromesh to get me by for awhile. I've also been thinking about replacong the fifth gear with the LS one. Don't know if I will or not but 4k at 70 mph is a bit much.

 

check with seller "acerl" on EBay for rebuild kit..........

Also no gear puller is needed, just snap ring expander for the countershaft lock ring.

 

Ya a snap ring pliers are nice, but they are not neccessary. Two flathead screwdrivers is all it takes

Every honda tranny I've tore down never needed a gear puller. Most of the gears just slide right off.

 

Damn Bone! You hit that right on the head. Thanks for the info on the rebuild kit.
