Im looking into rebuilding my gearbox soon and have been looking into rebuild kits.

The synchrotech kit with carbon synchros looks the best from what I can find but they dont list it to fit the CG box.

Has anyone used this kit and does it fit? Or will I have to buy a different one which is speciffically for the CG box.

If anyone has rebuilt their box before any info on what you used would be great.

Thanks
Luke

Don't know about the synchros, but some of the Synchrotech synchro springs are the same between the CG and the B series cable boxes.And you can use the B differential in the cg box if you remove two raised sections on the casing.

I'd be asking Synchrotech people direct.

please update your findings cause i am wanting to rebuild mine as well not sure the mileage on it and dont want to get left stranded somewhere

you can use the B differential in the cg box if you remove two raised sections on the casing.

I have a B series Mfactory Helical diff which i am putting in which is why i want to rebuild the box at the same time

I have been emailing David at Synchrotech to find out:

"Hi

Im after rebuild kit for an Acura CG tranny of a D16A1 (D16A3 actually because im in Australia but there exactly the same). It is not listed on your website but I have spoken to someone who has used it and they said you can get one?

If so what parts are included and how much would the kit be?

Thanks for your time
Luke"

"I can special order the CG 86-89 Integra kit for you. It includes seals, gaskets, shaft bearings, diff bearings and brass synchros for $300 + $75 shipping.

I have asked about the carbon synchros and will update when he gets back to me.

I have a syncrotech syncos in my CG box. Call them up and tell them you need. I got 1-5 carbon lined with springs.
I am very happy with mine.

I'm doing a rebuild on my CG right now. I pulled everything apart and measured and inspected everything as per FSM. I ordered a kit from all state gear: http://allstategear....h.aspx?PageNo=1

I can post pics i you guys would like to see my progress.

[fat_85_civic]

Pics would be great!

I've got mine opened up atm but have never done it before so am taking it slow.

Is there a good write up on rebuilding the CG or are you guys getting your info from a repair manual? My next project I plan on doing is the Modern D series with the CG tranny. Thanks!
