I just swapped a dohc zc in my 91 hf crx. Everything went well except 2nd gear grinds really bad. Im pretty sure its an si tranny. I got the motor, the tranny, the axles and the hubs for 300 bucks. I told the guy, "hey man i got another si tranny if this one is shot, so if it needs to be changed just let me know so I dont waste my time" Anyway, he said it was good when he drove it and its fixable. Well I adjusted the clutch as much as possible and still bad grinds in 2nd gear. So whats up? Is this tranny done for or what? All the other gears are smooth as hell so its a pain that 2nd gear's gonna ruin it for me. Not much experience with tranny problems so any help will be greatly appreciated. Like I said I got another si tranny, so if a tranny swap is the answer someone let me know.

Whats weird is at low RPMs I can rev the motor and match up the gears and it will slide in pretty easily. I guess I'll try some synchromesh, Ive seen a lot of people recommend that in other posts. Tryin to avoid pullin the tranny if I can help it. I just did the swap, so I feel like a jackass havin to go back and pull it off. The actual shift rod from my shifter couldnt cause any of this could it?
