#266060 Since day 1 with my EG9 evrytime I shift from 2nd to 3rd in Vtec , I hear from the gearbox the gear sounds like grrrrrr , as if I am not changing properly the gears...It only does it only in 3rd and only in VTEC ...But I am clutching properly , the mounts are O.K , OEM type ...I was wondering if I should change the engine mounts or use a engine dumper ?
If you have anything to suggest please tell me...THANX

#266225 What kind of trans do you have ? 3rd gear Shift collars get worn out and scrape quite often


If it only dose it in 3rd and in vtec its more than likely wound tight , the sound is gear clash that your hearing it sound to me like a worn shift collar and or syncro ring on 3rd
