I actually did it during summer last year. I did have a little grind in third when shifting at high rpms. I gave syncromesh a try and now it's butter. I hear the new Honda MTF works just as good. I think it has to do with necessary friction where the syncro and gear mate. And that's why Honda only sells them as a set(gear, syncro, sleave). If you have good syncros you can look on autozone's site and they sell a bearing set. Or get on ebay http://stores.ebay.com/TRANSPARTS-AT-THE-BEST-PRICES

hmm i just noticed something. on both y8 trannies the mainshaft bearings did not need to be pressed off. in fact one of them is sitting kind of edit:"stuck" in the top of the casing. the other slides on and off the shaft. hmm i can't imagine both trannies would have spun the main shaft bearings.

:thinking: I seem to remember mine coming off really easy but the new one needing pressed lightly on. I do remember that all of the press work was light. I didn't have to apply much pressure.
