    It's definitely more important for a daily driver versus a strictly drag track car.

    Well this is my daily driver, but I'll be sticking with the new OEM bearings I've already installed.

    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.

    Ya I was thinking to clean it as well, but didn't want to jump into something if I was mistaken. Kinda weird how it's there at all.

    Thanks for the reassurance. What's the best way to clean it? Lint free towel?

    Here are some more pics of that synchro. These were taken after I tried to clean with brake cleaner. It got some off but not all obviously. Lmk what you guys think. I did look at another third synchro I have and it is grimmy just like this one from a different transmission.

    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...
