Tranny trouble b16a (cable tranny)

hey guys i can't seem to find a solution to stop the grinding on my b16a cable tranny. It keeps grinding whenever i tried to shift into 4th gear from 3rd gear. But no grind whatsoever from 5th to 4th. I think the syncro on my fourth gear is worn. I tried the oem honda mtf fluid.. that didn't do anything to stop it.. then i tried GM Syncromesh for a few days and still didn't solve the problem. But i heard from some people that it takes like 2000km for the GM syncromesh to break in and then the tranny will shift smooth. Is this true? And can anyone recommand me any fluid that could help me solve this problem? thanks

yes, it's true that it may take some time for the GM Synchromesh, but that fluid isn't the be all end all... if the synchro is messed up, it's messed up. there is no magical fluid to fix it. it'd be like having a magic car wash that fixes collision damage.

that being said, there is a place you can get new synchros... http://www.gearspeedinc.com/products.htm#Synchro_Sets
