So finally got my self an RSX Type -S.
Its an 03' with 270,000 km .. runs perfect. So far changed the tranny fluid to Amzoil synchro mesh, fixed the 2nd gear grind at high revs and fixed 3rd gear pop out and 4th grind. Changed oil to penzoil ultra platinum, knock off k tuned race spec shifter. K&n short ram intake for the vtec pop, Also plasti dipped rims and badges because of poor condition rims until i save up for some te37's. Car has zero rust and interior is clean with no rips. Just missing the back seat for some reason lol. Before and afters so far.

Now I must ask, did this tranny fluid change fix the grinding and pop outs or did you drop the tranny and replace the synchros and such? I feel like this is a stupid question but I am interested as I am having the same problem you experienced but to a somewhat lesser degree and only with 3rd gear.
