    A bit late on this one, but I totally agree with Vit, I got the synchrotech carbon syncros brand new from synchrotech directly around September 2012. They had an update before then on them that's why the date is important. I was revving to 8800 at the time. And they were no better than OEM, in fact I thought they were worse.

    The issues with our cars transmission isn't the synchros. its typically a CMC adjustment issue, but once you grind a gear a few times you ruin the engagment teeth on both the gear and the sleeve itself. Once this happens nothing will fix it short of replacing the gear.

    What were your plans? Why not just use OEM synchros?

    Ok well here were the plans:
    Cryo-treat the gears
    Replace syncros(OEM/syncrotech)
    MTEC race spring

    I have a bud from Louisiana thats been using this similar in his kswap 5spd tranny and every yr he upgrades the motor or anything to add more power the dam tranny is still holding up!!

    We talking a bout a 600-750hp kswap tuned on BBG and running full slicks on the streets.
    Thats why i dont get why many ppl have had bad experience with the Synchrotech syncros

    Not sure how it ruined your plans though? You can use the stock synchros... Or you can use the synchrotech ones... Also have you heard of Racer Steve on honda-tech? He treats gear and has had quite a success rate. I got some gears treated by him, but haven't put them in yet.

    Gotcha, his treatment is $200 with the good reviews I figured I'd give it a shot. You just send him the gears all broken down and the shafts too.
