I thought the clutch disconnected the engine from the tranny, so they could operate independantly. Thanks guru's.
I had this exact same prob on my box in my Civic VTi and within about 3 weeks of reving before poping it into gear the synchros totally jammed up!! So my advise would be get it sorted now before you totally wreck your gearbox.
