this guy bought this type R and with in an hour of purchesing the car disastret struck he said he missed a 3rd to 4th shift and hit 2nd indsted at about 9800
as you can see it was bad

this valve would not come out what so ever and the stem is stuck like chuck

and the JG valve spring broke in to 3 pices

 

So, you're posting someone else's bad luck?
Ask him how much he wants for the car ... now (I need a chassis for the turbo motor).

 

Wow, sucks to be him

 

well he has a 2001 gsr swap now with ctr cams total downgrade.

Luck had nothing to do with it.

As I've said before...

It takes at least TWO different errors to accomplish a money shift:

1) Putting the shift lever in the wrong gear

2) Failing to do anything about it (i.e. putting the clutch pedal back in) in time, when seeing the revs start shooting up past redline.

So that's like asshat squared.

 

he even cracked the sleave on a C5 block

 

that sucks. sometimes you gotta learn the hard way next time I bet he will push the clutch in a lot sooner and faster.

 

I must admit, I agree with nsxtasy. It's driver error compounded by further driver error.

 

pure stupidity

i have to agree....within an HOUR?? id cry if i did that to my R!! he mustve been eager to drive it.....but still no excuse so sad to see an engine like that

 

it might have been more wise to have atleast gotten comfortable with the car and grasp a better feel of "driving" it before the flogging.

 

damm kids !

 

what a waste of a nice c5 engine. idiots shouldnt buy nice things

I can't wait till you do it.

&lt;-------------------Seen excellent drivers with years of track experience money shift, and done it himself.

 

Now I don't feel so bad after killing my engine after four days. 1 hour is a pretty good record.

 

sigh...

 

this just happened to me yesterday, luckily everything seems to be ok. i used to say the same thing that most of you are saying, but you know, it only takes 1 little mistake. **** happens, no one is perfect, and im sure you guys would change your tune if and when it happens to you.

Wrong. As I pointed out above, it actually takes TWO mistakes, not one. And they're not "little" when you consider the consequences.

Any time you let out the clutch pedal, if anything doesn't happen the way you expect it to, your first reaction should be to push it back in immediately. Do that, and you won't do the money shift. If you can't be ready to do that, and if you can't put the shift lever in the proper gear, then you shouldn't be driving a manual transmission car.

 

bahh that dosent look too bad... Cone Andrew's looked alot worse cracked #1 sleeve in like 10 places and had a valve loged in a rod

 

I sortof find it hard to "mishift" from 3rd to 2nd.. i mean what happens when u let go of the gear lever when your shifting from 1st to 2nd? It springs to the middle..

So when going from 3rd to 4th, the only pressure on the stick should be downwards.. not side to side.. lol.

The worst thats wver happend to me was a mishift from 1st to 4th.. being lazy i reckon. (hey even GANSAN did that in the S2K ) It made a popping sound and a small section of my clutch managed to break off and jam No excessive damage fortunately, apart frome a new clutch.

 

I've been driving my CL-S too much lately, the other day I tried to shift from 5th to 6th in my R
