I also have problems with the 3rd gear grind but i also have a hard time putting it in first from a stop. I also have problems putting it in reverse and especialy taking out of reverse... Im just going to buy a rebuilt tranny for now because im sick of it already.

dont bother it wont fix it... i have tried everything and nothing worked.

[b.r.i.a.n.]

the synchromesh will only hide the problem temporarily. you need to have the synchros replaced. i'm going thru this ordeal right now lol

my last ep didnt have this problem... but the ep i got does. its so annoying. it only does it at high rpms. i guess for the most part everyone has that same issue.

now The question is.... What to do? Cause I really don't know how much longer I can drive the so like this yo.

i have the same problem in 3rd gear at high rpms.. i can go up to about 5000rpms without grinding.. ima trying new MTF.. but if i swap the tranny to a type r tranny i can just throw it in and it will be good? where can i get it from?

I did the same... didn't help... at all.

Agreed.

I decided to get a six speed 04 type S, instead of investing in repairing my tranny.

I don't know any details about the type R's, I imagine they would be quite expensive and hard to find.

I love it... I have had it installed for about a week and I am absolutely in love with it.

That extra gear makes the car just that more satisfying to drive.

I bought it off the classifieds for 720 shipped, a little higher than what I have seen elsewhere.The seller was highly rated so i figured it was worth the extra cost then risk getting burnt elsewhere.
