eg 3rd gear set in ek trans??

[prjctCIVIC]

i have a 96 ek that has bad 3rd gear syncro and i have a junk 93 dx tranny sitting around with good gears. can i take the 3rd gear set out of the eg tranny and use it in my ek tranny for replacement?? i tried searching but couldnt come up with an answer, thanks

Id be willing to bet it will all interchange...let us know what you find!

[transzex]

your fucked.

If you trashed the 3rd gear synchro, you've ruined the slider. I just spent a week filing and reshaping one to reuse it.

The slot on the slider is wider for the 3-4 steel shifter fork setup. I had a spare Y7 tranny here I was gonna use for parts, it was wasted even worse.

The gearset and synchro will interchange, but with a bad slider, your shit out of luck.

Read my rant in 96-00 vs 92-95 Poll.

well if his 3-4 fork is worn out it just might be the right size lol

transzex, whats the slider your talking about??

i can drive all day without it grinding, usually grinds at high rpm's and quick shifts

synchro sleeve = slider

Like Transzex said, the collar/slider shift fork groove on the 92-95 is much narrower than the groove on the 96-00. So... if you put in your 93 3/4 gearset you'll need to put in your 93 sleeve/slider which means you'll need to use your 93 shift forks. The 92-95 forks look completely different from the 96-00 forks...

thanks for the pics. by looking at the forks in comparison, it doesnt even looks like i can swap the forks to make it work.....

I have ground the shift fork in more than one 6th gen tranny to accept the 5th gen 3rd Synchro Sleeve. It has worked every time.

How much did you have to cut it down?

Did you cut on both sides?

Belt sander :)

hahaha holy shit talk about ghetto fabulous

[transzex]

I have access to a endmill, belt ghetto is more fun :)

Hmm, so that brings us to the question - are same-gear sleeves in 92-95 and 96-00 D-Trannies the same in other dimensions? (number of teeth, diameter, width...)

Good info here.

[transzex]

yes, that is how Jim used them, the hubs are identical, have the 3 gear notch to prevent overtravel.
