i have a 1991 integra rs, i just finished swapping it to a b18b and its loping at idle. all the vacume lines are good im pretty sure, i am gonna clean my throttle body out tomorrow with some carb cleaner, but my manual tranny wont go into reverse when the car is running, i can put it in reverse and start the car and it works fine. all the other gears are fine btw. any help?? thanks

 

is the tranny full of fluid? low fluid level can be the cause this problem. is the clutch new or are you using an old clutch kit? also try cleaning the IACV for you idle problem...

 

i put almost 3 quarts of 10.40 in it, the haynes book calles for 3.25. ill see if i cant toss more in it. yes its a new clutch from BBP. ok, ill clean that out as well and ill be back and let you know if it works. thanks for the advice

 

something to do with setting the clutch height. it's in the manual about setting the height so the car will start and reverse. something to do with the clutch pedal reaching a certain level before the car will start, it may be related to that.

 

cleaning the IACV worked bitchin. car is running amazing, just the reverse thing, which isnt a huge deal, just would be nifty so i dont gotta turn the car off every time i wanna put it in reverse. ill check that out, thanks for the help guys

 

B series usually only take 2.2 quarts

 

ya i put almost 3 in it. it started spilling out of the drain plug

 

was the car level when you filled it or jacked up leaning? It may just have too much fluid in

 

it was jacked, my haynes manual said 3.25. i think thats alot when the engin only holds like 4.5, would over filling the tranny make it not go into reverse when the engine is running? it just grinds. i just dont wanna have to pull the motor back out, thats a pain in the ***, it still has the 91 manual tranny since the engine came from a 97 automatic.

 

The 91 tranny takes 2.2 quarts. With trannies, you'd be better off having 2 quarts in there than 3. Overfilling them is not good.

 

I hate to say this man but i think your tranny reverse gear is trashed,nothing else to do but pull it out and redo the thang

 

ya, ill do that at a later time, it works for now, ill drain some oil and see if it helps. its just gonna suck if i have to parallel park hahahha. thanks for the help

 

hahahaha nice one man,good luck on that tho

need any help just hit me up,stay socal

 

i gots another question. ive got the idle set at about 800rpm, is that about right (my first 4 banger)
there isnt any vacuum lines that run to the tranny is there?

 

yeah that should be about right,and vacuum lines that run to the tranny??

the tranny does not have vacuum

 

thats what i figured, just wanted to double check

 

800 rpm idle is fine, and the only 2 lines/hoses going to your tranny are power steering fluid to the VSS.

 

i got another problem, not a big deal, my door open and rear hatch open lights wont go off. is that a fuse or maybe a short in a wire?
