what can i do to decrease wear and tear on my 98 gsr integra transmission?

[bsampson]

i just started driving a stick for the first time on the car....and i dont want to put a lot of wear and tear on the tranny....for future plans to maybe do a bit of racing....any tips?

Make sure you check and change the transmission fluid when needed..Honda recommends every 6 years. But if you're going to do any racing, then maybe every couple of track events.

Also a bottle of GM Synchromesh tranny fluid works wonders.

and rev match!!

Rev match, don't use a short shifter and don't slam it into gear as hard as you can.

Rev-matching is the single best thing you can do other than the obvious maintenance. Your synchros will thank you for it.

Engine braking also creates a lot of unecessary and completely avoidable load on your tranny

Best advice ever! Seriously though.

drive like grandma and use your clutch

keep your fluids up and fresh, and keep in mind that racing is going to wear on your tranny anyway...
