Initially he thought it was shifter linkage, it’s hard to describe but it felt like the car was trying to engage two different gears at the same time. After removing everything in the way of the cables and seeing no adjustments he was confused, and then after playing with it for around an hour...
Also I think its worth noting that I did find the home for both bolts that were on their own lol, both were for the radiator bracing and were positioned in a way that I couldn't see where they belonged from underneath the car. The only reason doing this job was much of a struggle is because of...
You’ll always hear some level of noise especially at lower RPMs. I’d say use your better judgement on that one because before mine broke I would always here slight noises in lower gears at low RPMs.
Today after getting the car back (yay) I was told that the internal pump went bad somehow. I would’ve liked to keep it and actually asked for a piece but the trans was sent to the engineers so they could do their own breakdown as a condition of the warranty.
Cause was determined to be a pre-existing malfunction with the 5th gear synchro that didn’t reveal itself until the new clutch was installed. Once the new clutch was installed it basically allowed the 5th gear to eat itself alive which stopped the fluid from working properly subsequently ruining...
Yeah it didn’t take much to sway me away from e85. Like I said I was on the fence about it anyway.
I’m not necessarily looking for crazy power numbers, honestly I’m more so after the sound I’d gain by doing these mods but obviously I want to make sure the motor stays safe. Plus who can say no to...
With the 17% discount PRL is running for 11th gen parts I figured now would be the best time to grab all the stuff I'm wanting from them. I'm looking to install the Intercooler (along with the charge pipe upgrade kit), High Volume Intake, Turbocharger inlet, and the Flexfuel kit, plus the...
Oh I see. Transmission will be coming out either way so it’ll be a good time to take a look. It helps that a very close friend owns a shop that takes warranty work.
In all senses of what a clutch does- it works perfectly. Disconnects engine from the transmission. The issue is definitely transmission side. And based on everything going on all signs lead to a bent shift fork.
after several hours, 5 or so phone calls, including a call with the head tech at my local Honda, everything going on points to a bent shift fork. No fucking clue how or why, but should be covered under warranty.
Trans fluid was checked (surprisingly no leakage) and I actually had been taking it rather easy. Exedy said 750 mile break in period for the clutch. I think it’s worth noting that this engine is actually surprisingly healthy for the amount of miles and beatings it’s received. I measure out my...
gear indicator says N, but the wheels spin to about 19 mph at idle rpm when the clutch is released. The shifter will not move into any gear position other than neutral. It can move freely around the neutral slot, but absolutely will not go into gear
After doing the clutch the car ran fine for 2 days or so until the car stalled on me in a parking lot. Stalled two more times before lurching forward while the car was in neutral.
Only thing I could figure is that somehow during the install something was left loose which allowed the...
After installing my new clutch it would seem that my shifter cables need to be adjusted. I cannot find a single guide anywhere online for how to do this. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
