Well the junkyard transmission had a bad synchro so I am going to just rebuild the old one. I believe its original problem was a bad ISB. Here is the parts list I have assembled so far. It includes a new synchro set (I believe all 5 come with one part number?) and new bearings. This is the parts list I have assembled so far. Am I missing anything? What else would you recommend doing while I am in there?
I'd also go with new seals and might as well order he Honda MT fluid then too. Are you going to also replace the clutch, throw out bearing, and pressure plate?
I will be putting in a whole new clutch kit and seals. Which should cover the parts you mentioned. I was thinking of using non-honda fluid (possibly red line?).

1st and 2nd gear synchros are under "countershaft" and is $219. 3rd and 4th are under "mainshaft" and is $174. 5th gear is under "mainshaft" as you found and is $97.23. There is not much logic in the way the parts are listed. Getting expensive.

With the exception of the ISB and sometimes the 2nd gear syncro, there really isn't much else that goes wrong.. I don't think there is any reason to replace any of the gears or the other syncro's so that is likely added expense.
The ISB, maybe the syncro, the seals, and some oil and that ought to do it honestly
What about tools? I'm also going to need to do the transmission bearings repair soon and have decent homeowner tools but almost nothing auto mechanic specific.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to get a torque wrench, but what else is needed?
The Syncros are doing fine and I'll have to measure the clutch before deciding if it gets replaced.
I keep seeing reference to the seals but I'm not seeing them on the Magestic links that Eli posted, does someone have a link to the seals?
they are there look at transmission housing for 1 axle seal and clutch housing diagrams for other axle shaft seal and input shaft seal. Also if your going to have it apart may want to change the shift lever seal as well.
