OK. You're wrong, but we'll agree to disagree.

Again I disagree with you here. Synchros are needed in first gear as well.

Yes, that would be why I said EXCEPT for first gear we don't need synchros.

No, actually I have not worked on many Hondas...I guess that means Honda must build a pretty shitty transmission then...

Nice try, but I'm gonna call you out here. To be quite frank, an experienced mechanic would realize that moving parts wear. If you put more strain on a moving part it will wear faster. Therefore if you require the synchros to do more work, they will wear faster. If you take work away from the synchros and do it manually, they will wear slower. It doesn't get much simpler than that.
