Car runs great aside for a bit of synchro grind on the 2-3 upshift, gonna put some friction modified trans fluid this weekend and see if it mellows out.
I have the 3rd gear synchro grind too. Been that way since the transmission swap. I think I put a heavier oil in, IIRC. Problem did not go away completely. But as long as Ishift mellow style and don't race/cram it, it is symptomless really. I am testing a CAT cleaning method. I'll know soon if it worked to improve my CAT i hope.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
