Right guys, for anyone looking to get their fn2 notchy or Grindy gears sorted out, these guys Grinspeed Motorsport are the absolute best, and also there prices are incredible.
Professional work, for less than half the price I would have paid anywhere else, I was quoted 1900 for all that work by a garage down here near Southampton so I dug around and found this place which quoted the same work for only 900, they found more issues than was previously inspected once the box was opened but the price was still amazing, and now my car drives like a dream. Honestly can't reccomend them enough, it was so worth the drive up to Preston and staying over for one night to have it done, and the flywheel and synchros are a lifetime guarantee too. Also I would have done an lsd at the same time but I was completely out of funds after this job anyway haha
After trying so many cheap solutions such as changing the gearbox oil, fitting shifter bushes, and a short shifter I can safely say this is the only true way to cure it.
If your gears are grinding something is wrong, dont try cheap solutions, get it checked out.
What they found:
Flywheel had several hot spots on it
Clutch friction plate was worn to nothing
Clutch springs were stiffened up
2nd gear teeth were worn down
2nd and 3rd gear synchros were buggered
And one of the gearbox bearings was bad
What they did:
Fitted MFactory flywheel
Fitted carbon synchros to all 6 gears
Replaced the 2nd gear and hub with genuine Honda ones
New oem exedy clutch
New counter shaft upper bearing
