Since I've owned the car, I could not downshift into first if traveling more that 25mph. I have always assumed that it was a "lockout" feature that prevented excessive wear on the syncros. This weekend I went to put it into first and ground the gear. (I may have been above 25mph)
However after reading the replies at the bottom of the article here http://www.nsxprime.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002327.html I think I may need to replace the syncros. Unless there IS a lockout on the tranny that maybe needs to be fixed (yeah, right!)
So…Is there a lockout? (umm, I think I already answered that)
How difficult is it to remove the tranny?
Have any of you replaced your syncros?
How competent should I be to even attempt this job? (Scale 1-10, 10 being take it to Acura)
Should I look for a used 6-speed Tranny?
Bright side: I'll probably take this opportunity to install a 4.55 R&P. I am VERY interested in doing everything myself, however, funds are available for a professional to do it. I enjoy the satisfaction (and saving $) of doing it myself, I just don't want to get in over my head.
P.S I'm still planning on going the BBSC route, should I do shortgears as well?
