Regrease shifter DIY
#21
This really does help. I have an 01' with 70k and this really helped reduce the "notchiness". Of course, how much of a difference is dependent on many variables and parameters.

so i finally got around to doing this lastnight n let me tell ya, wat a HUGE difference! so much smoother. i have an '01 and when i took the shifter out, the grease was dried up and crusty. but now its all lubed and greased and feels almost new. goodjob on the writeup SakiGT.
this is what i did to get the white ring+boot out. i stuck a smaller flathead down between the boot and ring where the arrows are, becareful not to puncture the boot. and just pry it out corner at a time. and they would come out together, which made it alot easier than taking the boot then ring out.

Is there any alternative to the Shin Etsu grease and/or the Urea greas? Would conventional grease do?

Got quote on the Shin Etsu and Urea at Gardena Honda (Socal), they wanted $27.10 and $20.15 respectively. With tax that's $51.86!
I ordered from "yourhondaparts" on ebay for $12.25 (Shin Etsu) & $8.20 (Urea) + $7.95 shipping = $28.40 (saved $23.46). Might be able to get this cheaper elsewhere or use other brands, but ordering on ebay was eeeeeeasy
Note on the shipping, "yourhondaparts" will combine shipping, $6.95 for 1st item + $1.00 for each additional item. I spoke with Ryan at their # 1-866-350-5710, he told me to order both items but don't pay immediately, just wait for him to send a combined invoice.
Thanks for the write-up Saki GT

So what does it mean if you have done this, changed your transmission oil, and still have a notchy 2nd and 6th gear? Should I grease shifter from the bottom end?
