its hard to inspect a tranny for damage without taking it apart. most people wouldnt know what to do with a tranny in pieces anyway. all you can do is find one from a trustworthy source, install it correctly, run real honda fluid (no cheap autoparts store crap. gm synchromesh is the only non honda fluid that works well) and hope for the best

You guys stress honda manual trans fluid too much. Regular motor oil is fine for a flush. Even synthetic oil is the same as the honda fluid.

ok then at least dont put gear oil in a transmission. ive seen that done. bad news. i stress the honda stuff because it will definitely work. theres no chance someone will get the wrong stuff if they buy honda fluid

I started off w/ 10w30 in my M2B4 when I installed it recently, my 5th gear syncro would grind/bite, immediately flushed it out for Honda MTF, flushed it again the other night. Granted, this tranny does have the typical 5th gear grind, but the Honda MTF by far has done wonders, I've had great experience w/ MTF over the past 4 yrs.

jus a dumb question are the h22 tranny the same as the h23

[Granite CB7]

Similar, but there are some diff's depending on which H22 trans. we're talking about, both share the same 4.266 final drive ratio, making them all similar in gearing.
