So was doing some trans work today, and while putting the main shaft back together I noticed a lot of gunk/grime built up on the third gear synchro. Now this grime had to of been there while the trans was together and being used as I took it apart not that long ago. Is this normal? Should I leave it as is? Or clean it up?
My first instinct is to clean them up and test em by adding some lube. I assume it's ok but I'm not yet a trans guru so I'm not sure. [MENTION=49]boosted_teg[/MENTION]'s friend Gilles would know, so would [MENTION=56]PetefromtheStreets[/MENTION].

I've never had that type of gunk in my trans. I'd definitely clean that up.

Ha I would hope so But from talking to a few people they seem fine, just odd it got so grimmy there.
Anyway just placed a big order from honda, hopefully I covered all the OE parts I need to finish off the build; decided to replace every bearing in the trans while I'm at it, so finishing that will be on hold till the parts arrive. I also decided to go with an a2 oil pump modified for extra revs if in the future I build the head.
So the final build will be:
JE 10:1 pistons
Manley Turbo Tuff rods
a2 oil pump
ARP head studs
stock head
Pretty simple...
Fairly simple yes. What bout bearings and rear main seal
