my situation is i got a kaaz lsd in a b16 tranny and was working fine before i did a engine rebuild. im not sure what oil was in the tranny before, but i got torco gear oil with lsd additive. it works fine there is no noise, but now there is the illusive 3rd gear grind in high rpms. so i was wondering if just straight gm synchromesh will take away the grind. thanks!

no tranny gurus?
try using OE fluid. if it still grinds, look to syncrotech for sync rebuild.

i would assume since you have a 3rd gear grind... a third gear syncro replacement is in need, putting in different fluid sounds a little bit of a quick ghetto fix
but there wasn't a grind before... worst comes to worst imma have to change out the 3rd gear..
Well, I would first try the fluid suggestion, if that does not work, then tear it down...
did you install the lsd and not change your fluid after about 1k miles? there are some little metal shavings from new trans components that will gunk things up and cause grinds... replace the syncro,change fluid, and then change it again with an oil change.. you'll be fine
My grind turned out to be a broken shifter fork. Another thing ive noticed is that the syncros dont normally go bad. Its more than likely the syncro sleeve thats bad.
I have the gm s**t in both of my b16 trans n not a problem out of them n and the both did the same only at high rev's
no the tranny already had the lsd in it i didnt touch it, i just did an engine rebuild. now it has a grind in high rpms in 3rd gear...
do you have a kaaz lsd? im scared to put just gm synchromesh into the tranny because i was told by kaaz usa to use torco gear oil which i did but now i got the illusive 3rd gear grind... weird
When I got it rebuild the shop told me that he has never seen a lsd like it n it was a 13 bolt lsd which nuts
And I got the trans with a motor n it had lsd already in it
