gearbox issues for b16a2

[markcivic]

easy people was wondering if a 2.0ltr crx gearbox would fit or be beneficial to my b16a2 vtec lump, at the mo it crunches slightly in second when i go slow...the rubber boot right next to the gear lever linkage is loose and thinking that may have something to do with it,any ideas?

I might be wrong but i dont think they did a 2ltr crx.

yes,i think drewedgar is right about the crx.
anyway,did you try changing the gearbox oil?????? if not throw some slick 50 treatment in with it.i had a crunch in 3rd gear in my prelude,it sorted that out.
let me know if it works mate.b16=type r whats the 2 about??
well if its a type r you have, make sure its hydrallic gearbox oil you get
main dealers will put you right and should only cost around 10 squids. i remember getting it for my type r and it only costs that.
the slick 50 is a bit more expensive,but its good stuff.best of luck with that..oh and check that rubber booth,it might need replacing

Hi markcivic and welcome to TorqueCars. Gearbox oil is a good 1st try - often if the level is low you get this. Also old oil loses its lubricity.

Is the clutch in good condition. A worn clutch can cause crunching in 1st and Reverse. It could also be a worn syncro ring.
