well i am mechanically inclined BUT remember i do autobody not mechanical lol
SO heres the story Your driving, your going faster than 50km/h and u go to shift into 3rd and it grinds bad.....you do it when your going slower it doesnt do that....and well lets just say that more than once i go to ds into 3rd and it doesnt wanna go in....... syncro? transmission? i know its easier to guess at what it is instead of seeing it but what do you guys think it is? just because it will do it sometimes and not other times im thinkin it may be the syncro.... ideas.. --------------------  FEEN |

What Mike says is true .. sort of.
The 3G Acura TLs have the infamous 3rd gear issue, as well as second. The gear will either grind in our out of gear... and as well as pop out of place and back into neutral. What he has wrong is that it's not just "GM Synchromesh" that we use to resolve [not fix] the issue. It's GM Synchromesh Manual Transmission Fluid: Friction Modified. It's much better than ordinary GM Synchromesh Manual Transmission Fluid. I'm not sure about 6GCs but on the 3G TL, the GM Syncromesh:FM works miracles. It's not that expensive either. Not even 14 dollars Canadian. The regular Synchromesh is just about 11 or so. -------------------- '89 3.1L Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
