It wouldn't cost that much. To replace them all would be about $1000 thats including labor. The 3/4 synchro will cost about $250 and labor should be about $300-350.

if you have the means and know how to take out your tranny, that'll save you the 300-350. :dunno:

I rebuilt my tranny myself. It's not hard when you have a Helms book. If you know someone or have a friend at that works at Honda or Acura, they can just order the syncro for just that gear.
